Head Matter:
Lemuel Bostwick, et al. Exparte.
No citation or notice to the town or towns is necessary, upon a petition for tlxo discontinuance of a road under the act of the 16th of November, 1825.
THIS was a petition to the Supreme Court, praying for the appointment of a committee, to discontinue a road in New-Haven, originally laid by a committee, appointed by act of the Legislature. The petition was predicated on the third section of the act of the Legislature, passed Nov. 16,1825. (Acts o/T825,p. 22.) It was filed in Court, on the fourth day of the term, and was without citation or notice to the town; and it became a question, whether it was not necessary that the town, or others, should be notified of the pendeney of the petition ?

Opinion:
The Court
took time to consider the question ; but, on a subsequent day of the term, proceeded to appoint the committee, without having ordered notice to the town, or others.
