Head Matter:
Inhabitants of Madison, petitioners for certiorari, versus County Commissioners.
The R. S. c. 25, § 3, required the location, (by county commissioners,) of a public highway to be recorded at the next term of their Court. This is a petition for leave to issue a writ of certiorari for the purpose of quashing the proceedings in relation to a highway, for the alleged reason, that they had not been seasonably recorded. Pending the petition, the Legislature by an Act of 1852, c. 221, provided that “ no record of any highway should be quashed for the reason that the return of the county commissioners shall not have been recorded before the close of the proceedings.

Opinion:
Shepley, C. J.
The petition can he no further prosecuted.
Leave to discontinue without cost.
