3. AND, whereas in making said new roads the
beds of the old
roads are frequently departed from, and doubts are entertained

the beds of the old roads respectively, it shall and may be lawful
for the justices of the levy courts for the several counties where
such departure may exist, to authorise the shutting up of such
parts of the said old roads as shall be departed from by the said
new roads respectively, provided the same be wished for by the
parties through whose lands such parts of the said old roads may
pass. |
