New York Supreme Court, 1894

Village of Sandy Hill v. Akin

New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1894 · Hejrriok, Mayham, Putnam

84 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 537

Counsel

D. J. Sullivan, for the appellant., G. M. Ingalsbe and A. D. Wait, for the respondents.

Opinion of the Court

Hejrriok, J.:

The judgment in this case should be affirmed. The assessment for personal property against the heirs of a person deceased, without naming them, is void. It does not follow the statute. (Cruger v. Dougherty, 43 N. Y. 107; Trowbridge v. Horan, 78 id. 439; Cromwell v. MacLean, 123 id. 474.)

Mayham, P. J., and Putnam, J., concurred.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
