People ex rel. Weatherwax v. Watt

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided May 15, 1921PublishedCited by 12 opinions

Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court, entered in the Albany county clerk’s office April 16, 1921, granting an application for a peremptory writ of mandamus.

1Per curiam

The court is clearly of the opinion that the persons operating the vehicles in question are guilty of a crime. It is equally clear that it is the duty of the mayor to take care that the law against the commission of such crimes is executed and enforced, which up to the present time he has refused to do. The able and comprehensive opinion of Mr. Justice Hinman at Special Term renders further discussion unnecessary. [Reported in 115 Misc. Rep. 120.] Order unanimously affirmed, with costs.
