bury should continue to pay the three thailings a week
towards the maintenance of the children; and, on appeal
to the sessions, this order was affirmed. But, being re-
moved by certiorari into the court of king's bench, it was
moved to quash it, because the justices of Bolney had no
power to make an order for such payment towards the
maintenance of the children now they dwell in another
parish.—THE COURT. The marriage of the mother into
the parish of Bolney shall not settle her children there un-
less they were nurse children, for such must go with the
mother; but it was doubted whether these children, being
under seven years of age, shall be reputed to be nurse
children.-It was then objected, that it did not appear
in this cafe but that the father-in-law was of fufficient
ability:-To this it was answered by G. EYRE, Justice,
that where the relations are obliged to maintain their
poor friends, such poor people shall not be removed out
of their own parish, where they are settled, unto that parish
where their relations live; for by that means, upon the
death of such relations, the parish where they lived may
become chargeable, which ought not to be; and therefore
the poor person shall continue in his own parish, and his
relations ihall maintain him there.-ET PER CURIAM.
This case is within the equity of the statute for the relief of
the poor; and there is no reafon that Shermanbury should
