In re Opening & Improving Henry Street

Opinion of the Court

*Curia.

That statute is, that if we do not confirm the report, we shall refer it to the same commissioners for revisal and correction, or to new commissioners to be appointed by the court. Under these words, we think the reference was regular. The greater power, to retain all the old commissioners, or to appoint an entire new board, includes the lesser power to retain part, and reject part.

Motion granted.
