Collins v. Long Island City

Opinion of the Court

Barnard, P. J.

The cases of People v. Bleckwenn, 7 N. Y. Supp. 914, and Francklyn v. Long Island City, 32 Hun, 451, determined that the legislature could validate a void tax, as well for the amount of tax as for interest upon it. This is the only question involved in the present appeal, and the judgment should therefore be reversed, and a new trial granted; costs to abide event. All concur.
