New York Court of Appeals

Conner Against the Mayor, Aldermen, and Commonalty of the City of New York.

September 5, 18515 N.Y. 285

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, holding that the 1847 act regulating the compensation of certain New York city officers does not violate the single‑subject clause of the state constitution and that the officers' fees and emoluments are not property protected by the takings clause, so the statute is constitutional.
