New York Supreme Court, 1911

People ex rel. Wilson v. Fuhrmann

New York Supreme Court · Decided October 12, 1911 · Hooker

166 Misc. 888; 5 N.Y.S.2d 186; 1911 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 32

Counsel

Michael F. Dirnberger, Jr., for the relator., Clark Hammond, Corporation Counsel [Robert J. Summers, Assistant Corporation Counsel, of counsel], for the respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Hooker, J.

The sole question involved on this application is as to whether the sections of the General Business Law in relation to the pawnbrokerage business supersede the ordinances of the city of Buffalo relating to the same subject.

This exact question has recently been determined in this court by Mr. Justice Pound in the action of Marfisi v. Wilson & Company (166 Misc. 887), and his ruling should be followed here.

A peremptory writ is, therefore, granted.
