TOOLS

The Massachusetts act of assembly of 1805, c. 100, which provided that the tools of any debtor necessary for his trade and occupation, should be exempted from execution, was held to designate those implements which are commonly used by the hand of one man, in some manual labor necessary for his subsistence. The apparatus of a printing office, such as types, presses are not therefore included under the term tools.
