The parish officer's companion or, a new and complete library of parish law: containing the whole duty of churchwardens, overseers, Constables, Headboroughs, Tithingmen, Surveyors of the Highways, and other subordinate officers in parochial matters: including, all the laws now in force, whether Acts of Parliament, or Cases adjudged in the different Courts of Westminster, at the Assizes, or Sessions, respecting Parish Business, pointing out the particular Duty of each Parish Officer, and enabling him to acquit himself with Ability and Reputation. A Work essentially necessary to be consulted by all Churchwardens, Overseers, Constables, Surveyors of the Highways, &c. and ought also to be possessed by Others, to enable them to be a Check upon those Parish Officers who are too assuming, and over-act their Part. By Somerville Dingley, Esq. Author of the Appendix to Burn's Justice.
