Supreme Court of New Hampshire.

Decided December 31, 1955.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

J. Francis Roche, city solicitor, for the plaintiff.

Conrad Danais, county solicitor, for the defendant.

GOODNOW, J.

If a person who is poor and unable to support himself has no relatives of sufficient ability to do so, "the town wherein he has a legal settlement shall be liable for his support." RSA 165:19. "County paupers are those for whose support no person or town in this state is chargeable." RSA 166:1. The question raised by the transferred question is whether Geraldine, the child whose support is involved in this case, has a legal settlement in Manchester.
