and 10th sections of the general inclosure act; which makes the decision of the commissioners and justices conjoined, final and conclusive with respect to both public and private roads. The case of Rex v. The Justices of Cumberland (a), is perfectly distinguishable from this, because there the matter at issue did not fall within the excepted determinations which were declared by the general inclosure act to be final and conclusive. On these grounds, the Sessions did right in refusing to hear the appeal.

Scarlett, contrà. This is an appeal from a decision, not of the commissioners, but of a commissioner and a magistrate, for stopping up a private road, and therefore the case does not come within the 8th section of the ge neral inclosure act, which applies exclusively to public roads. It may be true, that the joint order of the commissioners and justices is by that section declared to be final and conclusive; but non constat that the 10th section, which relates to private roads, takes away the appeal. That section only declares, that the setting out of a private. road shall be subject to such notice and examination as are required in the case of a public road; but there is no declaration that the order of the commissioners in such cases shall be final and conclusive, and therefore the Court cannot by mere inference say, that because the appeal is taken away in the case of a public, it is also taken away in the case of a private road. Express words are necessary to take away the right of appeal; and as there is no declaration that the judgment of the commissioners shall be final and conclusive as to a private road, it seems reasonable that in this case an appeal ought to lie. Had this been a determination of the commissioners alone, perhaps there might be some weight in the argument on (a) 1 B. & C. 64.
