The Chancellor

declared, that the duty of maintaining the lunatic now devolved upon the overseers of the poor of the town where he was legally settled. The statute had prescribed regulations for the overseers in certain cases, on this subject. (1 N. R. L. 116. 288.) It was, therefore, ordered, that the committee deliver over the lunatic to the charge and custody of the overseers of the poor of the town.
