Town of Wethersfield v. Stamford

1 Root 68

Opinion

Judgment —• That the plea in abatement is insufficient. The general law makes it the duty of every town to provide for and support their own poor, generally, and the common law supplies the remedy; the statute referred to in the plea, provides a particular mode of redress in a summary way, in certain cases, but doth not take away the common-law remedy by action.
