In re Highway
Supreme Court of New Jersey
In re Highway, 16 N.J.L. 391 (N.J. 1838)
Dayton
In re Highway
Opinion of the Court
My opinion is, that each of the objections is good. The beginning point, as contended for, is not sufficiently designated; and the ending point was unknown, not even existing, at the time of application.
On the second point, I am as fully decided. After settling and announcing their decision, the surveyors and the public had dispersed, when a part of the surveyors re-assembled and signed the return.
The affidavit of the surveyors is verbal, and not verified as it ought to be.
Return quashed.
Cited in State v. Green, 3 Harr. 182; State v. Northrup, Id. 275.
