Appeal from circuit court, Moniteau county; E. L. Edwards, Judge.
Proceedings by John Zeibold and others to change a public road. Lashla Foster filed objections. From the judgment assessing his damages, Foster appeals. Affirmed.
The other facts fully appear in the following statement by MACFARLANE, J.:
This is a proceeding under the statutes to change a public road in Moreau township, Moniteau county. It was commenced in the county court by petition and notice. The desired change was entirely on the land of appellant, Foster. The county road commissioner was ordered by the county court to view, survey, and mark out the change. He reported the road practicable and of public utility, and that Foster refused to relinquish the right of way. Commissioners appointed by the county court assessed Foster's damages at $10.

This notice described the proposed change as in the petition. Upon presentation of the petition the court made the following finding: "Now, at this day, the petition of the above-named parties for a change of road in said township coming on to be heard, it is found by the court that said petition is signed by at least 12 freeholders of said Moreau township, three of whom...
