| Description | Chief interest lies in the “modus operandi” as described in LLIG/670: viewing of the road by two J.P.’s, publication of notices to “stop” for four successive weeks, declarations by J.P.’s of its uselessness, their certificate together with a plan of the road to be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace for at least four weeks before the date of the Quarter Session, from which the stopping order will be sought; nor must it be forgotten to serve this notice upon the Surveyor of Highways who will lay the matter before a Vestry of the Parish; if the Vestry agrees to the stopping, a resolution to that effect must be entered upon their minutes. One had to be careful to distinguish between stopping an existing road and diverting a road or making a new one. After some difficulties with getting J.P.’s to view, the order was secured at the Beaumaris Quarter Sessions, 19 October, 1847 (LLIG/684) |
