Per Curiam.

Whether the turnpike corporation have a right to discontinue making repairs, is a question between them and the government. The selectmen of Petersham have laid out a way over the turnpike road, and it has been accepted by the defendants. This is a voluntary assumption of the duty of keeping it in repair, by which they are bound, and it is no objection that others also may he obliged to repair the same way.
