1Opinion of the CourtBois, J.
The questions of law transferred to us in this case by the Manchester District Court (O’Neil, J.) essentially ask us to determine whether legal counsel appointed under RSA 169-C: 10 (Supp. 1979) to represent indigent parents charged with child neglect may be compensated by the State under RSA ch. 604-A (“Adequate Representation for Indigent Defendants in Criminal Cases”) or by the town in which the child resides under RSA ch. 169-C (Supp. 1979) (“Child Protection Act”).
