Syllabus

<p>Road law — Viewers—Signature to report.</p> <p>The Act of May 8, 1889, P. L. 129, fixing the number of road viewers at three, did not repeal section 3 of the Act of February 24, 1845, P. L. 52, which was extended to Columbia county by the Act of April 10, 1846, P. L. 286, and which, so far as signing the report is concerned, requires only that-it be “signed by a majority of their number.” Where two of the viewers have signed the report, the fact that the third viewer does not sign it until the return day, does not vitiate the report.</p> <p>Road law — Viewers—Report—Time and place of meeting.</p> <p>The report of road viewers need not affirmatively state that the viewers met at the time and place designated. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, or of an inference to be drawn to the contrary from something on the face of the report, it will be presumed that the jury did their duty.</p> <p>Road law — Confirmation of report — Exceptions.</p> <p>After the report of re-reviewers had been presented for confirmation, exceptions were filed to it, and at the same time a petition was presented for a re-re-review. The court directed this petition to be filed to await the disposition of the exceptions. Held, that it was not error to confirm the report of the re-reviewers absolutely without formally disposing of the petition for a re-review.</p>
