People v. Friedman
New York Court of Appeals

249 N.Y. 86; 1928 N.Y. LEXIS 765
<italic>Per Curiam.</italic>
People v. Friedman
Opinion of the Court
Section 445 of the Penal Law must be construed in the light of the heading of the article “ Business and Trade ” as referring to sales made in the usual course of business or trade, and not to occasional or sporadic transactions, as, for example, sales by an executor or administrator in winding up an estate.
So construed the section is reasonable and valid, and the defendant was properly convicted of a violation of its provisions.
The judgment should be affirmed.
Cardozo, Ch. J., Pound, Crane, Andrews, Lehman, Kellogg and O’Brien, JJ., concur.
Judgment affirmed.
