1t seems that someone accuses Fair
field of making the county support some
of her paupers. The particular case in
question IS that of James Harrington

and that he was not vagrant. The man
was without money and friends and un-
able to work. Cold weather was coming
on and he was in fair way to starye
and freeze unless something was done.
The officials did their best to locate Har-
rington's residence. and when this could
not be found. but one thing remained.
