In re Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara

Headnote

This was a motion from an order of General Term which" affirmed the report of commissioners of appraisement, appointed under and in pursuance of chapter 336, Laws of 1883.

The following is the mem. of opinion:

“We think we are concluded by the decisions under the General Railroad Act from entertaining this appeal. There is

no such difference between the language of that act and the language of the act under which these proceedings were instituted as to require or authorize a different construction of the two acts. There is no public policy and no reason for authorizing appeals to this court under the one act which do not apply to the other. Decisions which have been so long and uniformly adhered to should not now be departed from or disregarded.

“ The appeal should be dismissed.”
