Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court

Decided December 1, 1884

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court · decided 1884-12-01

Complaint to the Police Court of Marlborough, for keeping and maintaining a common nuisance, to wit, a certain tenement in Marlborough used for the illegal sale and illegal keeping of intoxicating liquors, on December 1, 1883, and on divers other days and times between that day and February 20, 1884.

Decided 1884-12-01

By the Court.

¶1Under the statute, the town of Marlborough constitutes a judicial district under the jurisdiction of the Police Court of Marlborough. St. 1882, c. 233, § 3. The record states that the proceedings in this case were had “ at the Police Court of Marlborough, in the district of Marlborough, in the county of Middlesex, holden in said district.” This sufficiently shows that *191the proceedings were within the judicial district of the court, namely, in the town of Marlborough. There is no defect in the record, and the Superior Court had appellate jurisdiction of the case. Exceptions overruled.
