Dorchester v. Wentworth, 31 N.H. 451 (N.H. Super. Ct. 1855).

Opinion

Bell, J.

The authorities cited by the counsel for Went-worth are entirely conclusive that error does not lie to reverse a judgment rendered upon a petition for a new highway. The only remedy is by writ of certiorari, which is issued upon petition, and after a hearing upon the merits. Such has long been the usual practice. The writ of error, therefore, must be quashed.
