Cole v. Perry

6 Cow. 584 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1827

Curia.

The statute relied upon is merely directory to the officer drawing the ballots. We have often holden this in relation to statutes of a similar character. No abuse or injury to the defendant being pretended, and no objection made at the time, the mistake of the officer is not a ground for setting aside the proceedings.

Motion denied.
