<p>Poor law — Township—Borough—Settlement—Support of paupers.</p> <p>Where a borough is incorporated out of territory which had formed a part of a township, and it appears that at the time of the incorporation all of the paupers chargeable against the poor district of the old township had their settlement within the territory constituting the new township, and that none of them had their settlement in the territory constituting the new borough, the poor district of the new township cannot impose any of the cost of the maintenance of such paupers on the poor district of the new borough.</p>
