Hall v. Kent
Hall v. Kent
77 Mass. 467
Hall v. Kent
Opinion of the Court
These by-laws were made by the town in conformity with the Rev. Sts. c. 15, §13, which expressly give jurisdiction to “ any justice of the peace of the town.” That provision is not superseded by the St. of 1847, c. 166. Commonwealth v. Turner, 1 Cush. 495. The justice in this case therefore had jurisdiction of the complaint against the plaintiff.
Judgment for the defendants.
