Bundy Hill from the easterly foot thereof to the junction near the saw mill owned by Harvy and Kimball, be, and the same is hereby discontinued as a turnpike; and the said corporation are hereby released from all obligations to maintain the same, and the same may remain as a common highway, in the same manner as if it had not been a part of said original turnpike road.

And whereas, it is further alleged in said petition, that at a period of about ten years since, the toll gate in the town of Lisbon, upon said turnpike road, was, by proper board, located a few rods, say about twenty rods, northerly of the house of Kenedy; and that for the convenience of the keeper of said gate, the same was removed to the dwelling house of said Kenedy, about twenty rods southerly from the place designated by the said board, without detriment to the public, there being no intersecting road between said two points,-praying further that said gate be established where it now stands, and the reception of toll heretofore at that place be confirmed. Said petition having been served as aforesaid, and the petitioners appearing, and the respondents being defaulted as aforesaid; and this Assembly having inquired into the facts aforesaid find the same true; whereupon it is also

Resolved, That the New London and Windham county turnpike society have permission to keep and maintain their toll gate within the town of Lisbon, at the dwelling house of the said Kenedy, in the same manner as if established and removed there by the judge of the county court and the commissioners on said turnpike road.

And it is further resolved, That the reception of toll at said gate, where the same now stands, since its removal to that place, be, and the same is hereby confirmed.
