Berlin Mills Co. v. Poole

Supreme Court of New Hampshire
Berlin Mills Co. v. Poole, 62 N.H. 439 (N.H. 1882)
Carpenter, Clark

Berlin Mills Co. v. Poole

Opinion of the Court

Carpenter, J.

The trustees must be charged. G. L., c. 249, s. 48; Thompson v. Smith, 57 N. H. 306. The order is for wages to be earned in the future, and by the express language of the statute an acceptance in writing is made essential to its validity. Whether, in analogy to the doctrine respecting the registry of deeds, notice to the creditor of an order conforming to the requirements of the statute would be equivalent to filing a copy with the town-clerk need not now be determined.

Trustees charged.

Clark, J., did not sit: the others concurred.
