State v. Hadley

This appeal involves the constitutionality of RSA 249:51 (Supp. 1973), Spillage of Material. On September 25, 1974, the defendant received a summons for violating this statute by failing to cover a dump truck hauling gravel. Prior to trial he moved to dismiss the complaint alleging that the statute unreasonably exempted certain operators similarly situated and thus deprived him of the equal protection of the laws. See Morey v. Doud, 354 U.S. 457 (1957). The defendant moved that the constitutional question be transferred to this court, and Brighton, J., so ordered. RSA 502-A:17 (Supp. 1973).
