Statements this record supports

  • C-183 — As city solicitor in 1855 Bonney was instructed to prepare the laying out of Central Bridge as a public way, and the City Council so voted on July 24, 1855. The dispute with the bridge company ended in 1862 with a verdict by consent of $33,958.51 for the company, of which Dracut paid $7,865 and Lowell the rest; Bonney, T. H. Sweetser and B. F. Butler were the city's counsel through the trials.
  • C-188 — At about sixteen Bonney published and edited a Lowell newspaper for a year: the Old Residents' Contributions say the Orion, started in 1843–44 by Washington F. Somerby, 'passed into the possession of Arthur P. Bonney who published and edited it another year'; Hurd says instead that he edited the Operative in its second year.
