Inhabitants of Nantucket v. Cotton
14 Mass. 243 | Mass. | 1817
The jurisdiction given to the Common Pleas by the statute, under which this process was instituted, is very special. It is plain that the legislature intended to confine the proceedings to that court, and that its orders on the subject should be final. This is a very convenient arrangement; and we see no constitutional objection to it. The appeal is dismissed.
