Under section 1399 of the General Statutes of 1909, providing that appeals may be taken from the decision of householders appointed by a city to appraise damages occasioned by the opening of an alley, in the same manner and within the same time as from judgments of a justice of the peace, the householders may take, approve and certify an appeal bond tendered within due time after the filing of their report.</p> <p>2. -Same. The validity of such a bond is not affected because immediately upon the filing of their report, which was accepted by the city council, the householders were “discharged,” or because the bond was not approved by or filed with the city clerk, or because the- householders did not observe the formality of assembling together as an organized body to approve the bond.</p> <p>3. -Same. Query, whether such a bond would not also be good if taken by the city clerk.</p>
