From John A. McGrath, Counsel:
JERSEY CITY, n. j., October Is, 1891.
To the Honorable Director-at-Large aud
Members of the Board of Chosen Free
holders:
G~ENTLEMEN-ln response to the enquiry
contained in the resolution of your Board
passed at the meeting of September %,
as TO whether or not the Warden of the
County Atnishouse is required to receive
INTO his custody as such warden and
keen. ETC., persons committed thereto by
the Overseer of the Poo of Jersey City,
affecie ed with disease such as scrofula,
etc. l beg to advise YOU as follows:
Neither the Oyerseer Of the Poor of
Jersey GUY nor the Overseer of the Poor
OF any other municipality of the County
has jurisdiction in cases of 4diScdsc as
such. and consequently any order or com
INIT 9ment by such overseer of any per-
son to the Almshuuse aforesaid, based
upon the mere ground that such person
was afflicted VITA isease would. in my
opinion, be void for want of authority in
law to make the same.
1t is almost needless TO add that such an
order or commitment would be without
any binding force in law, and need not
be respected by such warden or anybody
else.
