Description
This is assumpsit under our pauper law to recover for money expended for the burial of Mrs. Oliver King. On facts found, plaintiff had judgment, and the case is here on defendant's exceptions. The material findings are these: On April 30, 1930, King had a ""legal pauper residence"" in Cabot; that day he moved, with his family, to Marshfield where he resided continuously to the time Mrs. King died, in December, 1933. During that time neither he nor any member of his family requested aid or assistance from Marshfield. When his wife died King was a poor person in need of assistance, and called on Marshfield to defray her burial expenses, and it did. In May, 1932, King's girl, about eight years old, injured a finger while playing in the Marshfield schoolyard. Her teacher took her to Doctor Corson in Plainfield, who found that immediate amputation of the finger was necessary. Knowing King and his ability to pay, the doctor refused to operate and take care of the case until the overseer of the poor for Marshfield agreed to pay for his services; and one Potter, Marshfield's then overseer, upon being consulted by the doctor by telephone, agreed to do so. After the amputation, King and other members of his family took the girl to the doctor's in Plainfield several times for treatment of her finger. The overseer requested King to pay the doctor's bill and he refused, saying that he would not and could not. The overseer paid the same June 7, 1932, by a town order drawn by him. In May, 1932, King was poor and in destitute circumstances, but made no request on the overseer for assistance. It is also found that the day before the overseer drew the order to pay the doctor, the selectmen of Marshfield paid King $20 ""in full payment for expense money paid out for Dorothy May King, injured in a swing and loss of her finger""; and that during the year 1932 the town paid King $107.25 for boarding one Nunn, a town charge.
