Syllabus

<p>Boad law—Vacation of road—Decree of court—Act of June 18, 1886.</p> <p>Whenever the whole or any part of a road has been vacated by the court of quarter sessions and a new road laid out in lieu thereof, the road, so vacated shall not be shut up until the new road shall have been actually opened. Where an order of the court vacating a road is made upon the supposition that a new road has been opened as a substitute for the old road, and it subsequently appears that the new road has not been actually opened to the public, the order vacating the old road is void, and will be set aside by the court.</p>
