The new universal parish officer : Containing all the laws now in force, relating to parish business, ranged in alphabetical order. Very proper for attornies, constables, churchwardens, Justices of the Peace, Overseers of the Poor, Surveyors of the Highways, Headboroughs, Tidingmen, Sidesmen, Vestrymen, and all Persons in Office, who would gain a competent Knowledge of this Branch of the Law, so as to enable them to discharge their respective Duties with Ease and Expedition. It is also very proper for every Housekeeper and Inhabitance who is desirous of being perfectly acquainted with the Laws relating to Parishes, that he may not entirely rely upon the Skill of Parish Officers, who are but too frequently un-acquainted with some material Part of their Duty. This Work is entirely freed from the Errors, Obscurities, and Repetitions of former Writers on this Subject. Collected from the common, statute, and other authentic law-books. Interspersed with many useful precedents. The fourth edition, corrected, and containing almost twice as much Matter as any other Book of the Kind; with the Addition of the Four Acts of Parliament made in the last Session, concerning the Highways and Turnfike-Roads. By a gentleman of the Middle Temple.
