of the town an appeal shall lie by the party aggrieved to the
Circuit Court for Worcester county; provided, the same is
prayed within five days and accompanied by a bond to be ap-
proved by the said lower court for the payment of the fine and
all costs in case the judgment be affirmed.

48c. The Mayor and Council may, when they deem such an
officer necessary, appoint a night watchman, and may by ordi-
nance or by note in the minute book fix his term of office, his
salary and his duties. Said night watchman, when so ap-
pointed, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall
take and subscribe before the Mayor the same oath herein re-
quired to be taken and subscribed by the policeman. And he
shall have all the police powers of a constable, and any person
resisting him in the discharge of his duties shall be liable, upon
conviction, to the same penalties as are imposed for resisting a
constable. And he shall have power to serve, .deliver or post all
orders or notices that under any law or ordinance are to be
served, delivered or posted, and to make returns thereon to the
Mayor, the Council or the Mayor and Council, and his return
thereto shall have the same force and effect as is hereinbefore
given to the return of the policeman to any such notice. He
shall have the same power for making arrests, and for serving
the warrants or writs for criminal offenses, issued by justices
of the peace, for any offense against the ordinances of the town
or the laws of the State, if the said offense is committed within
the corporate limits of said town, as are hereinbefore conferred
upon the policeman of Berlin. Special policemen may be ap-
pointed from time to time by the Mayor, with the consent and
approval of the Council, for a term not to exceed one weekr
when it is deemed necessary for the good order and peace of the
town, all of whom shall be vested with the police powers of a
constable, and resisting them in the discharge of their duties
shall be punished in like manner and to the same extent as-
resisting a constable; and the Mayor and Council shall pre-
scribe the duties and fix their compensation, either by ordi-
nance or by note entered in their minute book.

48D. The Mayor and Council may have the sidewalk and
gutters of any street, lane, alley or thoroughfare of Berlin or
any part or either side of any such street, lane or alley paved
with such material and in such manner as they think proper.
Whenever they deem it expedient, right and requisite that the
sidewalks or gutters of any street, lane, alley or thorough-
fare shall be paved, wholly or in part, they may pass an ordi-
nance requiring the said paving to be done under the provi-
sions of this section and shall notify the parties owning the
property in front of which the improvement is to be made and
