Donnelly v. City of Manchester

In this petition for declaratory judgment the plaintiff, a resident of the town of Derry in this State and an employee as a schoolteacher of the defendant, seeks to have declared invalid an ordinance of the defendant which requires that all classified employees of the city, including schoolteachers, be or become within twelve months of their employment residents within the boundaries of the city unless granted a special permit by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen for certain specified reasons.

All questions of law were transferred here on an agreed statement of facts without ruling by Leahy, C.J.
