“"That the petitioner is a pauper within the intent of in forma pauperis proceedings is plainly a preliminary and indispensable fact. Without such a finding there is no reason to consider in this or any other type of proceeding whether counsel or other assistance should be supplied by the State without expense to the petitioner.” Brown, Petr. v. State, 153 Me. 512, 513 ; 138 A. (2nd) 462.”
