Opinion

majority opinion

By the Court.

— The action is wholly misconceived. The overseers expended the money of the township, they must account with the town for the money expended; and have no authority to demand the same of defendant below. If any action can be sustained, it must be by the township, in its corporate name. Cited in Inhabitants Saddle River v. Colfax, 1 Halst 115; Board v. Cronk, 1 Halst. 119; Taylor v. Green, 7 Halst. 124; Overs of Hobohen v. Reed, 3 Vr. 418.

Vide 7 Halst. 124. — Ed.
