Com, VS.. J. S. Mann, selling liquors

On Friday Judge Savidge filed the
following opinion in the bridge case:
The endorsement Filled August Sth.
1894 by the clerk on that date did
not make the paper record. If pre-
sented then the petition was immedi-
ately withdrawn without action there.
upon by the court and the viewers
were not appointed or the view Or
dered until the 2, of the same month.
The first minute made by the clerk of !
the proceedings was on the 2, of Au- |
gust as appears by inspection of the !
record. There was no irregularity in
the withdrawal of the petition and the
securing of additional signatures there
to prior to Aug. 20, 1892.
The alleged interest of President
Judge 1keler was not such as to dis
qualify him from acting upon the pc
.ition and even if so, as the case
stands, it must be taken as established
hat in point of fact, he did not act.
The sworn answer affirms that the
viewers were appointed by the associ-
ate Judges. In the absence of coun-
.ervailing proof the responsive allega-
lions OF the answer must be taken as
true. All action taken by the court
has been free from error and wholly
lnexceptional.
1t was urged that there was no such
Quarter Sessions Court on Aug. a,
ISes, as had jurisdiction of the petit
ion. Counsel for the rule contend
hat except during term time viewers
nay be appointed only at special
session called upon due notice. We do
lot agree to this proposition. At a
.egularly adjourned Quarter Sessions
Court as was that of Aug. q, all such
business may be transacted as is not
equired by law to be done during term
ime. This was an adjourned court of
previous term-a court for motions
md arguments and at such court view
rs may be appointed.
The rule to show cause why the pc
ition should not be dismissed and all
proceedings thereon set aside. is dis.
,harged at the cost of the petitioners
or the rule.
