The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. William W. Formosa, Appellant

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction of William W. Formosa for paying a rebate in violation of the 1889 life‑insurance act. It held that the evidence was sufficient to establish that the Vermont insurer was a corporation authorized to do business in New York, that the variance between the indictment date and the actual conduct was not fatal, and that the act prohibiting rebates was a valid exercise of the state's police power.
