6 Johns. Ch. 28 | New York Court of Chancery | 1822
It appears, that the supervisors of Clinton county, at their session in October last, examined, settled, and allowed, the bounties which had been voted by the town of Mooers, at their annual town meeting in
Motion granted.
[On the 12th of April, 1822, an act of the legislature was passed, relieving the town of Mooers from paying any wolf bounties allowed to non-residents of the town, or for wolves taken after the 28th of June, 1821; and directing all bounties allowed by the supervisors of Clinton county, in October, 1821, to non-residents, or for wolves taken in the town of Mooers after the 28th of June, to be assessed, and paid by the county. This statute was, in effect, a legislative reversal of the decision of the supervisors, and was, probably, passed upon the ground, that there was a case of abuse, for which no remedy could be granted under the existing laws.]
