Syllabus

<p>1. Fences—notice must he given of the selection of viewers, to charge party in default with costs. If one of the owners of a division fence shall neglect to keep his portion in repair, the other owner can not, without notice to him, select both fence viewers, and charge him with all the costs of the view. The party not notified will not be bound by the action of the viewers, and therefore will not be liable for any expenses on their account.</p> <p>2. Construction of statutes. A section of a statute will be construed with reference to the provisions of other sections relating to the same subject, and so as to leave all the words in the different sections in full effect according to their ordinary and usually accepted meaning.</p>
