New York Supreme Court December 15, 1876 (Beckwith v. Whalen)

Mullin, P. J. :

The plaintiffs brought this action as commissioners of highways of the town of Brighton, in the county of Monroe, to recover of the defendant, as commissioner of highways in the town of Pen-field, in the same county, one-half of the expense of building a bridge across Irondequoit creek, that separated the two towns.
