New York Court of Appeals March 16, 1883 (People, Ex Rel. Woods v. . Crissey)

Finch, J.

Out of the special legislation relating to the city of Troy have arisen very serious complications, which we are asked to remove by determining the legal questions involved. These respect the official right and authority of some of the persons who are acting as police commissioners of the city, and a challenge of their title to that office.
