Syllabus

<p>1. “ The expense of views of private roads, and the expense of any review, or of any view subsequent to a review, of a private or public road, shall be wholly paid by the persons applying for the same: ” Section 54, act of June 13, 1836, P. L. 563.</p> <p>2. Wherefore, the Court of Quarter Sessions has no power of its own motion to appoint reviewers or re-reviewers of a proposed road, and such appointment may be made only upon a petition presented for that purpose.</p> <p>3. It is the duty of the court itself to select and appoint competent, disinterested and impartial men to serve as viewers, reviewers, etc., and not to permit them to be suggested by the petitioners or parties interested: per Mr. Justice Sterrett.</p>
