dants the court affirmed his report
and dismissed the suit from which
decree the plaintiff appealed.
Justice Moore said: The deten-
dants having contended that a
public highway existed across the
premises in question, the burden of
proof was upon them to show that
the road had been legally laid out,
established and opened; the de-
fendant also maintained that the
road was viewed, surveyed and
recorded after July I, 1866. and
that subsequent act of the legisla-
ture (iu 1870 had validated all
irregularities in the proceedings.
"The record offered in evidence
failing to show that any notice
whatsoever was given of the inten-
ton of the petitioners to apply to
the county court for the establish
ment and location of county road
across the premises in question, it
could not be said that jurisdiction
was obtained to make the order
upon the validity Of which the de-
PENDANTS relied (Latimer VS.. Tilla-
nook county, 22 Or, 2e1).
THE power to appropriate pri-
vate property to public use is de-
rived from the legislature, which
may prescribe the mode of its
exercise and must provide ajudicial
tribunal for the determination of
certain facts as a perquisite to the
exercise of such power, but the
legislature cannot dispense with
notice of some kind to the owner of
the property affected by the location
of public highway, for to do so
would be violation of the 18th
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton and tantamount to the de-
privation of property (without pro-
