1Opinion of the CourtParsons, C. J.
This writ was sued at the motion of the Blue-Hill Turnpike Corporation, to quash the proceedings of the Sessions, in issuing a warrant to the sheriff to inquire by a jury into the damages awarded * to Patrick Jeffrey by [*421] the committee who located the turnpike, in receiving the verdict, and in the judgment entered thereon.
Several objections have been made to the conduct of the sheriff and of the jury; and witnesses have been produced to prove the *328facts on which those objections are grounded; but as these objections do not appear on the record certified, we cannot take notice of them.
