Syllabus

<p>Road law — Irregular proceedings — Quarter sessions — Common pleas.</p> <p>A petition for the appointment of road viewers is not fatally defective because it is addressed to the common pleas, where it appears that it was actually filed in the quarter sessions and endorsed in that court, and that all the subsequent proceedings, including the appointment of viewers, and the confirmation of their report, were made by that court.</p> <p>Road law — Viewers—Report—Defective proceedings.</p> <p>Where road viewers fail to report within the term, the same viewers may be appointed under the same petition at the next regular term.</p> <p>The fact that only two out of three viewers signed the report is not a ground for setting aside the proceedings three years after the final confirmation of the report and after the road had been opened and public money expended thereon to a considerable amount.</p> <p>Road law — Termini—Practice, Q. S.</p> <p>Where a road has been opened and in use by the public for years, the proceedings to open the road will not be set aside because the termini were somewhat indefinite in their location.</p>
