New York Court of Appeals

Luther Gordon, Appellant v. Thomas Cornes, Respondents; William H. Bunn, Appellant, v. Same, Respondents

March 26, 187247 N.Y. 608

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court judgments, holding that the 1867 statute authorizing a tax to fund a normal school was constitutional despite apportionment objections, that the seventh section of the 1866 act appropriating funds from the common school fund was void but did not invalidate the remainder of the scheme, and that the trustees' levy was valid.
