Description

Mr. Francis Tiernan, for the plaintiff in error: 1. The act by which the donation was authorized was void. The farthest that the courts of New York have gone is to hold that the legislature has power to authorize municipal corporations to become owners of stock in a railroad company, and to incur debt and impose taxes to pay for the same;1 but it has never been decided that the legislature has power to order money to be taken by taxation from the people of a town and 'donated,' that is to say, given away as a present to a railroad company; and still less that the legislature, in which alone by the constitution of New York the legislative power of the State is vested, can appoint a sublegislative body to do it for them.
