employment, which is taxable under our system of laws, is an entirely
different thing from the capital invested in the business, or the stock of
goods, in the purchase of which, the whole or part of such capital may
have been expended. The income meant by the statute is the income for
the year, and is the result of a year's business. It is the net result of many
combined influences,—the use of the capital invested, the personal labor
and services of the members of the firm; the skill and ability with which
they lay in, or from time to time renew their stock, the carefulness and
good judgment with which they sell and.give credit, and the foresight and A

be in the possession of the firm on the first day of May, might be, and it
is perfectly fair to assume would be, in the ordinary course of business for
the most part sold out and replaced by another stock; and in the course of
the year this operation might be many times repeated. The income to
which the statute refers, does not mean merely the profits derived from the
sale of the goods, that happened to be on band at the date of the tag, but
the profits derived from the dealings and business of the firm for the year.

At a meeting of the Inhabitants of Lexington, qualified by

the following votes were passed:
Voted to adopt a new Code of By-Laws relative to Truants and Absen-
tees from school, as follows:—
SECTiox 1. The town of Lexington hereby adopts the provisions of the
forty-second chapter of the General Statutes of this Commonwealth so far
as applicable to truant children and absentees from school, and all the
provisions of the two hundred and seventh chapter of the Acts of 1862,
entitled "An Act concerning Truant children and Absentees from school,"
and the several Acts in addition to, or in amendment thereof.
SECT:2. Any minor convicted of being an habitual truant, or any child
convicted of wandering about in the streets or public places of the town of
Lexington, having no lawful occupation or business, not attending school,
and growing up in ignorance,between the ages of seven and sixteen years,
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding twenty dollars;to be paid for the
use of the town, and in case of default in the payment of said fine, or y
instead of such fine, may be committed to the "House for the Instruction,
Employment, and Reformation of Juvenile Offenders"'in the City of
Lowell in this Commonwealth, for such time, not exceeding two years, as
the Court or Magistrate having jurisdiction shall determine.
SECT. 3. The "House for the Instruction,Employment and Reforma-
tion of Juvenile Offenders," in the City of Lowell, is hereby provided and
assigned as a suitable place for the commitment of the persons convicted
of either of the offences mentioned in See. 2 and the Selectmen are
hereby directed to make all arrangements or contracts with said City of
Lowell necessary to carry out the provisions, and for the enforcement of
these By-Laws. The keeper of said house shall have the custody of such
persons as are committed there from this town, and shall instruct and J
employ them in a manner most effectual for their permanent reformation.
SECT. 4. Any Judge or Justice of any Police Court in the County of
Middlesex, and any trial Justice in said County, shall have jurisdiction of
the offences mentioned in these By-Laws, and authority to enforce the
same. Any Constable or Police Officer in this town may serve warrants
and other processes necessary for the enforcement of the same, and the
costs and fines shall be the same as allowed in criminal prosecutions before
said Courts or Magistrates.
SECT. 5. The By-Laws of the town relative to truancy heretofore
adopted, are hereby repealed.
