A Bay paper abuses the County
Court and charges it with tryin g to

attorney to sue the bondsmen fo r the
expenses o f surveying the Daniel V
Creek road. There was no feelip g o f

court in any w ay responsible fo r the

The law
makes it the duty o f the view ers at
whom the surveyor is one, to view and
survey a proposed road and the court
hns no power whatever in connection
w ith the survey, further than to pay
the bills properly rendered.
