Syllabus

<p>Poor law — Order of removal — Appeals—Agreement of counsel.</p> <p>An appeal for a removal of paupers will not be set aside on the ground that the attorney for the appellant assented to the granting of the order, where it appears that while the attorney agreed that the order might issue, he did so for the purpose of bringing the question of law involved in the case to a final and conclusive adjudication by the quarter sessions without unnecessary delay and expense; and this is especially so where it appears that no motion to quash the appeal was made, that the parties agreed upon a statement of facts, and that the court finally adjudicated the question in controversy.</p> <p>Poor law — Settlements—Illegitimates—Removal of mother.</p> <p>Prior to the Act of-July 10, 1901, P. L. 639, the settlement of an illegitimate did~not follow the mother when she changed her settlement.</p> <p>Where an illegitimate does not remove with his mother to another county, but remains in the poor district where he was bom, and becomes a charge thereon before his mother acquired another legal settlement, and before the passage of the act of July 10, 1901, the removal of the mother and her acquisition of another settlement, does not change the settlement of the illegitimate.</p>
