The People of the State of New York v. . the Buffalo Fish Company, Limited

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's decision that the demurrer was overruled and that the defendant's possession of imported fish constitutes a valid defense, and held that the game law, as applied to fish imported from Canada, conflicts with the Federal Constitution's Commerce Clause and is therefore invalid. Justice Gray dissented, arguing that the statute does not conflict with the Constitution and should be upheld.
