William G. Ward, Appellant v. the Town of Southfield, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment against William G. Ward, holding that the alleged fraud by the town supervisor was not proven and therefore could not be used to set aside the judgment. The court found the tax assessment and the warrant to be regular on their face and concluded that the supervisor neither knew of nor intentionally concealed any defect in the assessment. Consequently, equity relief was denied.
