¶1It is impossible to support these proceedings. It does not appear by the report, that the bridge was deemed necessary *by the viewers, or that five of them had viewed the spot. We need not go further. [*436
¶2The proceedings must be reversed.

Bridge over Wallenpaupac
Decided December 15, 1807
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1807-12-15
It appeared by the record, that in May sessions 1804, the supervisors of the public roads in Palmyra township, petitioned for this bridge, whereupon six persons were appointed to view the same, and make report to the next sessions. In September and December sessions following, no return was made; but in February sessions 1805, the same viewers were re-appointed, without any continuance of the first order, or a new petition.
