The order was pi-operly quashed by the sessions, for there was no evidence, nor any adjudication *333that the pauper had a legal settlement at, or came last from PlattekiU. By a liberal construction of the 20th section of the act, the sessions are authorised to allow costs in such cases. The order of the sessions must be affirmed, and the appellants must pay the costs of this appeal.
Order of the sessions affirmed with costs.
