Excerpt from Municipal Corporations, Vol. 2 Co. Litt. 3, a; 10 Co. 26, b Com. Dig. Tit. Capacity, B. 1; Shep. Touch. 236. It is a general rule, that corporations must take and grant by their corporate name. 2 Kent Com. 291. A corporation aggregate can have no predecessor, and in a writ of right can only count on its own seizin. A statute of 1772, in Massachusetts, provided that twelve persons should be chosen annually by the inhabitants of the town of Boston as over seers of the poor, and they were duly incorporated. In 1822 the town of Boston was changed to a city, the act providing for the election of a board of overseers for the city who shall have all the powers and be subject to all the duties now, by law, pertaining to the overseers of the poor for the town of Boston. It was decided, upon great consideration - Shaw, C. J., deliver ing the opinion - that this was a continuance, and not a dissolution or saspow oion, of the corporation of 1772; that the bodies were public corporations, aggregate and not sole, with perpetual succession; that a grant to them of real estate carried the fee, without being, to their successors, and that in a writ of right they can count only upon their own seizin within thirty years next before the commencement of the action. Overseers of the Poor, &c. 0. Sears, 22 Pick. 122, 1839. Jackson 9. Cory, 8 Johns. 385, 1811; Jackson a. Hartwell, I b. 422.
