Opinion of the Court
Egremont and Sheffield ought to have been notified to appear and show cause; and before the appointment of a locating committee, an adjudication ought to have * been made, that the way prayed for was of common [ * 492 ] convenience or necessity. No arguments can prevail to support proceedings manifestly against natural justice, and the provisions of the statute giving this jurisdiction to the Sessions.
jLet the proceedings be quashed.
Ives for the commonwealth.
