A. A. Hirst, J. Q-. Hosengarten and M. Arnold, for appellants.
No counsel appeared contra.
March 11th 1878.

Opinion:
Mr. Justice Mercur
delivered the opinion of the court,
As no Act of Assembly gives an appeal from a decree of the Quarter Sessions, in the case of a street or road, no appeal lies. The proceedings can be reviewed on certiorari only. On such a writ we have just reviewed the record in this case; therefore,
Appeal quashed.
