It shall be his duty to attend the sessions of the mayors court and to cause to be brought before said court for trial all persons arrested by him or any other policeman of said town charged with offenses committed within the territorial jurisdiction of said court, and to file with said court informatiion as to such offenses as are alleged or reported to have been committed within said territorial limits, and to perform such other services in connection with said court as shall by the mayor be deemed necessary; and he shall possess such other powers, privileges, and immunities, not inconsistent with this act, as are usually incident to the office of chief of police cf cities and towns, and shall perform such other duties as are prescribed by law or as may from time to time be imposed upon him by the board of aldermen of said town.
