Colonial Life Assurance Co. v. Board of Supervisors
New York Supreme Court
Application for a mandamus to the Board of Supervisors to direct them to erase the name of the relators from the assessment roll for the year 1856.
1Opinion of the CourtDavies, J.
—The grounds of this application are that the tax commissioners of the city of New-York have inserted the name of the relators in the assessment roll for the year 1856, and have assessed them for personal estate in the sum of $100,000. This assessment roll has been returned to the supervisors of the county of New-York, who have revised and corrected the same, and estimated and assessed the tax the relators are to pay upon such assessment. For that purpose the supervisors have their annual meeting on the second Wednesday of July in each year (Davies' Laws, 1003, § 23).
