3 A. 422 | N.H. | 1885
The plaintiff, taking an appeal from the laying out of a highway over his land by the selectmen of Windham, now moves to quash the proceedings before the selectmen for want of notice. The proceedings before the board of selectmen are not necessarily quashed for error on appeal. The plaintiff cannot complain if the tribunal to which he has appealed shall hear him upon the matters about which he claims he had no opportunity of being heard before the selectmen. The whole case, so far as it is before the court, is referred to the commissioners, who are to consider the matters in regard to which the appeal is taken, and upon their report the decision of the selectmen may be affirmed, modified, or reversed. G. L., c. 69, s. 12; Peirce v. Portsmouth,
The error of the selectmen was not one affecting the merits of the case, as in Underwood v. Bailey,
Motion denied.
SMITH, J., did not sit: the others concurred. *466
