persons who may think proper to contribute thereto, a road not
exceeding thirty feet in width, in the straightest and best direc-
tion the nature of the ground will admit of, from Jesse Ben-
nett's mills to the old Westminster road, so as to intersect the
said road, at or near Bookman's tavern; and the road when so

sessed shall be paid or secured to be paid, to the person or per-
sons entitled to receive the same, before they shall proceed to
open the said road; Provided, the said road shall not be opened,

rors in the county court, to meet upon the premises on a certain
day, of which six days notice shall he given to the party or
parties interested, and when so met, and having each first tak-
en an oath before some justice of the peace, that he will with-
out favor, affection, prejudice or partiality assess the damages
sustained by the person or persons at whose request such in-
quisition shall be taken, by reason of opening the said road
through his, her or their land, shall thereupon proceed and val-
