New York Court of Appeals

Sarah Hill, Appellant v. the Board of Supervisors of Rensselaer County, Respondent

February 25, 1890119 N.Y. 344

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's order, holding that the action to recover compensation for property destroyed by a mob was not maintainable because the special 1855 statute required the suit to be filed within three months, and the Code of Civil Procedure §§405 and 414 do not extend that period.
