LORING V. CITY OF BOSTON
7 Metc. 409, 48 Mass. 409 (1844)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a suit over a reward.
FACTS: The City of Boston (D) offered a $500 reward for the apprehension and conviction
of any person who shall set fire to buildings within the limits of the city. The next day,
May 27, 1837, another notice was published that upped the reward to $1,000. There was no
time limit to the reward and it was noticed in the paper for a week. A fire occurred in 1841
and it was eventually determined by apprehension and conviction that a Samuel Marriott was
responsible. Loring (P) was responsible for Marriott being brought to justice and applied
for the $1,000 reward.
