Description
The proceedings to which the bill of exceptions herein presented relates originated in petitioner's application to the Municipal Officers of the Town of Cranberry Isles for a license to erect a fish weir or trap in front of his shore in the tidewaters of Broad Cove within said town. The application being denied, he appealed to a ""justice of the superior court"" pursuant to R. S. 1944, Chap. 86, Sec. 7. The appeal is dated December 17, 1945, was filed December 19, 1945, and was heard near the premises on January 29, 1946, pursuant to order thereon. A decree entered February 1, 1946, directed the municipal officers to issue the license sought. Attested copies of that decree and the findings on which it was based were forwarded to the parties, i.e., the petitioner and municipal officers, on that day. The bill of exceptions was filed on behalf of an owner of shore property bordering on the Cove. Counsel for the exceptant appeared at the hearing and raised objections both to the form of the application and to the granting of the license but took no formal action to make his client a party to the process. The bill presents the petition, appeal, exhibits presented at the hearing on the appeal, findings, decree and docket entries. In the findings it is recorded that no objections were presented at the hearing before the municipal officers; that thereafter two of them wrote certain summer visitors and received objections from them; and that the application was denied. The lack of a transcript of the oral evidence taken out before the justice who heard the appeal makes it impossible to consider whether any of his factual findings lack the support of credible evidence, but this is not material if the proceedings cannot be brought forward on exceptions. That is the issue to be resolved.
