The People of the State of New York, Appellant v. Dwight Hagadorn, Respondents

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the comptroller's deed was void because the assessment rolls for 1868‑1870 were fatally defective, that a sale of land for taxes including an illegal year exceeds the officer's jurisdiction and is void, and that the plaintiff could not recover timber without actual possession or a valid title.
