Syllabus

<p>Road law — Appeals—Final decree — Time within which to take appeal —Termini.</p> <p>1. The time within which an appeal may be taken in a road case must be computed from the date of the final order of the court directing that the road be opened, and not from the time when the court below refuses a petition to have such order vacated.</p> <p>2. Where the record in a road case shows no jurisdictional defect, and the final order is one which can be executed, an appeal from the order taken more than six months after its date is taken too late to permit the appellate court to review mere irregularities in the proceeding not apparent in the record.</p> <p>• 3. Whether the terminus of a proposed road is a public place is a question of fact, and where there is nothing in the record to indicate that it is not such, the court below will be presumed to have arrived at a correct conclusion, upon that point, when it decrees that the road be opened.</p>
