| Parties | CITY OF BOSTON v. TOWN OF ACTON. |
| Court | United States State Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts Supreme Court |
Samuel M. Child, for plaintiff.
J.T. & R.E. Joslin, for defendant.
This case turns on the question of the sufficiency of the notice sent by the overseers of the poor of the plaintiff to the overseers of the poor of the defendant. The name of the person to whom aid was furnished was stated to be Mary Richardson, whereas her name then, and for some time afterwards, was Mary E. Powers. There is nothing in the agreed facts to show that she was known in the defendant town as Mary Richardson, or that the overseers of the poor had any seasonable knowledge who was meant by the notice sent. There was, therefore, no occasion for them to take any action in the matter. Pub.St. c. 84, §§ 28, 29; Inhabitants of Lanesborough v. Inhabitants of New Ashford, 5 Pick. 190; Walpole v. Hopkinton, 4 Pick. 358; Carver v. City of Taunton, 152 Mass. 484, 25 N.E. 965. Judgment affirmed.
