CHAPTER LXXXVIII.

SUBSCRIPTION PAPERS.

SUBSCRIPTION PAPERS, like all other contracts, require both a party to contract with and a consideration, to make them valid and binding; but, from their simple and informal nature, they are often defective in these respects, and sometimes prove entirely nugatory on this account. The object of the subscription should be clearly stated, the party to whom it is to be paid and the consideration. Where, however, the paper imports a request to the body who are to apply the fund, and they go on and incur liabilities on the faith of the subscription, the consideration may be inferred from the facts; and in such a case, the subscription becomes binding from the time of the acts constituting the consideration.

[blocks in formation]

WE, the subscribers, agree to pay the sums set opposite our respective names, for the purpose of building a Presbyterian church at Glen's Falls; said church to be built on the lot now occupied by the old Presbyterian church in said village. The amount to be subscribed, in cash, is to be $5,000; the money to be paid to the trustees of said church, or to a building committee to be appointed by the undersigned subscribers. The body of the church to be finished and furnished uniformly; the pews or slips are to be equally assessed, and rented annually; and said assessments and rents to be paid and applied by said trustees in payment for the stated preaching of the gospel in said church and congregation, and expenses of said church.

(b) This form is sustained by Religious Society in Whitestown v. Stone, 7 Johns.,

112. It is binding on the subscribers so long as S. F. continues to administer the gospel, and the subscribers to reside within the distance of four miles, and could not be dissolved but by mutual consent, nor cease to be obligatory, until the minister ceased to render the service stipulated.

CHAPTER LXXXIX.

SUPERVISORS.

THE supervisors of a county, as a board or body, and each supervisor in his own town, are regarded by the law as quasi corporations, so far as is necessary for the discharge of the duties prescribed by law.

(c) The statement of the consideration we have inserted in this form, which is from the case of Stewart v. Trustees of Hamilton College, 2 Den., 408, 1 N. Y.

(Comst.), 581, to obviate the objection there held fatal, that no consideration was expressed or could be implied.

Supervisors.

Taxes.

Their powers and duties are prescribed in detail by the statutes, which are very numerous, and the general regulations are much qualified by local provisions for which the session laws must be consulted.

Forms for supervisors' use in connection with the subjects treated in this volume, will be found in their appropriate chapters.
