New York Supreme Court November 19, 1855 (Shaughnessy v. Rensselaer Insurance)

Harris, J.

The first question which presents itself upon the consideration of this application is, whether any assessment at all is required. This company was brought under the provisions of the act of 1849, providing for the incorporation of insurance companies, by an amendment of its charter, in the manner prescribed by the 14th section of the act.
