Commonwealth versus Seth Gay.
    Certiorari to the Municipal Court. In this case a complaint for a breach of one of the by-laws of Boston conceded “ against the form of the by-laws of said city,” &c., without concluding also against the form of the statute, and for this cause the proceedings were quashed. A like judgment was now entered for the same reason in the case of Commonwealth, in Certiorari, v. Worcester. See 3 Pick. 475.
