Syllabus

<p>Poor law — Settlement—Removal from jurisdiction — Act of June IS, 18S6, P. L. 5S9, and April 6, 1905, P. L. 112.</p> <p>The refusal of a justice of the peace to grant an order of removal of a pauper from one poor district tp another, which was subsequently affirmed by the court of quarter sessions, will be considered, on appeal, only on such points of evidence as have.been excepted to, or for errors in law. The appellate court will not review the ease on its merits.</p> <p>Where a person not in receipt of relief has removed from one district to another, and proceedings are begun before a justice of the peace for his removal on the ground that he was likely to become chargeable, which, after hearing, were dismissed, a subsequent Application by him for relief, and the granting of the same, while conclusive of the pauper’s status, at the time of the issuance of the order, is not necessarily conclusive of the fact that he was “likely to become chargeable” on the district at any time prior to the making of the order.</p>
