State v. Rutherford
State v. Rutherford
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The first, second and third reasons are-shown, by the testimony taken, to be without foundation in fact. Furthermore, in so far as they are addressed to the proceedings preliminary to the public improvement in question,, they come too late. The prosecutor stood by until the work was completed. State v. Clark, 9 Vroom 102; Bowne v. Logan, 14 Id. 421.
But the assumption of the prosecutor cannot be accepted, or, rather, the proofs of the case do not warrant the conclusions he would have us draw. The surveyors legally exercised their judgment in regard to the subject matter committed to them. Their decision as to amounts will not here be reviewed. State v. Miller, 3 Zab. 383; State v. Hulick, 4 Vroom 307; Swanton v. Pierson, 8 Id. 363.
The writ of certiorari is dismissed, with costs.
