Terms Used In Maine Revised Statutes Title 23 Sec. 3704
- Indictment: The formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.
- Town: includes cities and plantations, unless otherwise expressed or implied. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 1 Sec. 72
One indictment only for neglect to open ways or to keep them in repair shall be presented against a town at the same term of court, but it may contain as many counts as are necessary to describe all portions of ways alleged to be defective. The word “highway” used therein includes town ways, causeways and bridges.
