Syllabus

<p>Practice, Q. 8. — Borough incorporation — Appeal by two persons quashed.</p> <p>An appeal from the decree of quarter sessions directing the incorporation of a borough lies only when taken “ by not less than three persons aggrieved thereby;” hence it follows that an appeal must be quashed when taken by only two persons.</p> <p>Statutes — Repeal—Appeals in borough incorporation.</p> <p>Repeal by implication is not favored, and there is no such essential repugnancy between the Act of May 9, 1889, P. L. 174, regulating appeals from decree incorporating a borough, and that of June 26, 1895, P. L. 389, as will warrant the construction that the former act is repealed by the latter. *</p>
