Ludington v. Dudley

New York Common Pleas — General Term
Aug 1, 1894
9 Misc. 700 (N.Y. Misc. 1894)

Opinion

August, 1894.

Howe Hummel, for respondent.

John Callahan, for appellant.


The facts in this case, as admitted by stipulation, present the identical question which was decided by this court in the case of Irving v. Britton, 8 Misc. 201, upon which authority this appeal is to be determined.

But apart from the adjudication upon the constitutionality of the Ives Pool Law (Chap. 479, Laws 1887), as presented by the prevailing opinion in that case, the defense in this action must fail upon the ground taken in the concurring opinion handed down therewith. 8 Misc. 206.

Hence the determination of the Supreme Court in the case of Reilly v. Gray, 77 Hun, 402, wherein contrary views as to the constitutionality of the act were expressed, even if it could here be observed with propriety by this General Term, is not available as a support to appellant's contention, for we should be content to rest our decision upon the express ground taken in the concurring opinion in Irving v. Britton, above referred to.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

BOOKSTAVER, J., concurs.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
