New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York, Respondents Agt. James M. Raymond, Appellant
January 5, 186837 N.Y. 428
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that the 1867 act vesting appointment of New York City tax commissioners in the governor and senate is unconstitutional because the office existed at the time of the 1846 Constitution and must be filled by election or local appointment. The judgment appealed from is affirmed.
