New York Supreme Court January 15, 1879 (People ex rel. Sage v. Schuyler)

lead-opinion

Learned, P. J.:

While 1 agree with much of the opinion of my brother Board-man, there is one important respect as to which I must disagree, and that is on the question of ratification by the act of 1875. The very ground of any ratification (by the Legislature or by any other party) must be Icnowledge.

*109the action in the auditor’s office does not sbow knowledge in the Legislature.
