This was a proceeding instituted by appellee Henry Sehellenberger and nineteen other petitioners to have located and established a certain public highway in Harrison County. While their petition was pending before the board of commissioners of said county, appellant and two others filed a remonstrance against the establishing of the proposed road, on the ground that it would not be of public utility. Viewers were appointed to view'the proposed road and reported that it would be of public utility, whereupon the board of commissioners entered its final order establishing the same. On December 8, 1908, six days after said final order was entered, appellant again appeared before the board and presented a remonstrance for damages and procured the appointment of viewers to assess and report any damages to which they might find him entitled by reason of the location of said road. A report by said viewers in favor of appellant was set aside by the board of commissioners on motion of the petitioners, and reviewers were appointed to. further investigate the question of damages. This second report materially lessened the amount of damages allowed to appellant and after the board of commissioners had made a second final order establishing the highway and ordering the payment of damages as assessed, appellant appealed to the Harrison Circuit Court, from which court a change of venue was taken to the Floyd Circuit Court where the appeal was dismissed on motion of the petitioners. This action of the Floyd Circuit Court is now questioned here.
Appeal dismissed.
