REVISED, CORRECTED, AND BROUGHT DOWN TO THE PRESENT TIME, BY DWIGHT FOSTER AND JAMES E. ESTABROOK, COUNSELLORS AT LAW. WORCESTER: PUBLISHED BY ENOS DORR & CC. Entered according to the act of Congress, in the year 1856, by ENOS DORR & Co., In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusetts. PRINTED BY HENRY J. HOWLAND, WORCESTER. PREFACE. The last edition of this Book was published in 1849. Many new laws have been passed since that time, to some extent inconsistent with existing ones, which nevertheless were left unrepealed unless by implication. In such instances, the editors have published both provisions, without undertaking to express their own opinions upon questions of difficulty and delicacy. It is hoped the work will continue to be regarded a convenient and trustworthy manual for those engaged in the administration of town affairs. |
