the initial word to the last. The perO- |

as amended by No 46. of laws of 1882, in
part, is as follows: Town agents shall not
purchase Intoxicating liquor at the expense
or credit of the town for which such agent is
appointed; but the Selectmen of such town
shall furnish the agent, at the expense of the
town, such liquor" etc. Does this section not
impose upon the selectmen a clear duty after
the commissioner has made his appointment,
to furnish the agent? Is the law to be trihed
with, evaded or nullifed, by the very instru-
nents designated to carry it into force? Can
the selectmen of town "bulldoze" a county
into appointing an agent whom
ne finds, upon trial, will not obey his lawful
Or if the commissioner refuses
10 be bClldozed, can the selectmen sit suIlenly
back, and say they will not furnish the man
appointed, and thus greatly inconvenience
he whole community? Is there no law in
his State to compel public officer to dis
