Trustees of The Poor v. Enoch's Administrator, 1 Del. Cas. 391 (Del. 1796).

Pincite

Opinion

[Per] Curiam.

We are of opinion that the evidence is fully

sufficient to support the first, second, and fourth counts. We conceive that a pauper is chargeable for his maintenance when admitted into the poorhouse even though it be known at the time he has no property. And in the case of one insane, we apprehend that the law will imply an assumpsit for necessaries furnished, such as charged in the present account.

Jury gave a verdict for the amount of the account and interest.
