Waterville, Nov. II.
Inhabitants of Benton VS. city of Water
Vile. s S. Brown for plaintiffs, f. W.
Clair, city solicitor, for defendants This
Is an action to recover s33 for pauper sup
plies furnished to one Nellie Chandler, the
wife of Adelbert Chandler. Chandler, at
the time of the supplies was furnished, was
a minor, and the plaintiffs claim that he
takes the settlement of his mother, who,
it IS admitted, has one in Waterville.
The parents of Adelbert Chandler we're
divorced about 90 years ago, the custody
of the boy being given by the court to the
mother, the father having left the State,
and remaining away since, and according
to the claim Of the plaintiffs, has not been
heard from for / 0 years and In law is pre-
sumed to be dead The statute provides
that children have the settlement of their
father, if he has any in the State; If he
has not, the settlement of their mother.
The plaintiff says that 1t not being
shown that John r. Chandler the father,
ever bad any settlement in this State,
Adelbcrt would, under the statute, take
the settlement Of his mother, and, further,
if John Il. Chandler prior to the divorce,
had psuper settlements in this State, the
decree Of divorce giving the custody of
Adelbert to his mother, would be in law
an emancipation. and that Adelbert would
consequently follow the after acquired
settlement of the mother in the city OF
Watervilc.
The defendants claim that before the
plaintiffs could set up the settlement of
the mother as governing that Of the minor
child, they must first show that the father
had no settlement in the State. This not
being done, and there being no evidence
that Adelbert's father ever resided in
Waterville, the city cannot be held in this
action. And, further, If Adelbert's father
ever had pauper settlement in Maine,
the son would retain that settlement, not
withstanding the divorce proceedings, I'M
til he acquired one himself after becoming
of age.
There being no conflict of testimony, the
case, by agreement of the parties, was
taken from the jury and will be reported to
the full court for determination.
