Keller's Private Road
Opinion of the Court
The examination of this record fails to disclose error. It may not be out of place to remark that counsel can save their clients considerable expense by omitting to bring up and print the testimony taken in cases of this character. It does not come up legitimately, and therefore cannot be considered. The object of the certiorari is not to review questions of fact, but the regularity of the proceedings. For all that appears the proceedings below are regular, and are therefore,
Affirmed.

- Syllabus
- Hoad law — Private road — Certiorari— Printing testimony — Practice. On certiorari to an order of the quarter sessions overruling exceptions to report of road viewers, the Supreme Court can review only the regularity of the proceedings, and cannot consider exceptions which raise only questions of fact. In such a ease it is useless to print the testimony.
