New York Court of Appeals
The People of the State of New York Ex Rel. Fred P. Fonda, Appellant v. Levi P. Morton, Charles T. Saxton and…
January 7, 1896148 N.Y. 156
Summary
The Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of a writ of mandamus, holding that the 1894 amendment to the public employment preference act does not require notice or a hearing before a Union veteran employee may be removed for incompetence or conduct inconsistent with the position. The removal was therefore lawful and no mandamus was warranted.
