William Cronin, Plaintiff in Error v. the People of the State of New York, Defendant in Error

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's order, holding that Albany's common council possessed the authority to enact an ordinance prohibiting slaughtering of animals in designated areas of the city, that the ordinance was not void as a restraint of trade, and that an indictment need not allege the reasons for the ordinance's enactment.
