Senate. Comm. on Parishes and Religious Societies. Act declaring and confirming to pew holders … 1834
|
|
Senate No. 34 The Committee on Parishes and Religious Societies reported a bill: An Act declaring and confirming to the pew holders the property
in the Congregational Meeting House in the first parish in Brookline, and authorizes them to raise money by taxing pews, 1834. All persons who owned
pews in the meeting house were now a body politic that owned the land, building, etc. The listed pew owners were liable for assessments on the pews.
Unpaid assessments meant the pew was available to be auctioned to the highest bidder. Pews were now part of a personal estate. The bill had to be
accepted by the parish to be valid. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
