Court of Appeals of Kentucky · Decided October 20, 1817
8 Ky. 55; 1 A.K. Marsh. 55; 1817 Ky. LEXIS 108

New v. Ewing

Opinion of the Court

The Chief Justice

delivered the opinion of the court.

This is a writ of error to an order establishing a road.

The proceedings are defective, and the order, consequently, erroneous; not only because it is not stated on whose application the viewers were appointed, but because those through whose lands the road runs, were not summoned as the law requires, prior to making the order establishing the road.

Order reversed with costs.
