The Opinion of the Court was delivered by
Purple, J.*
On the 21st day of October, A. D. 1843, the defendant sued the plaintiff in an action of debt in the Circuit Court of Mercer county to recover a sum of money, which, as the declaration alleges, the defendant had expended in maintaining a pauper, who, at the commencement of thirty days immediately preceding the time she became chargeable as a pauper to the county of Mercer, was a resident of the county of Schuyler; which last mentioned county thereby became liable, upon notice having been given to remove said pauper, for such maintenance.
