Good. <br/><br/> A bitter attack on New York's newly enacted Sunday closing law arguing that the legislature does not possess "one particle of authority to enact any law which might directly or indirectly give a preference to the religious creed of any sect to the disparagement of any other or in any manner to infringe the right of any individual to the unrestrained and peaceable enjoyment of his opinions on the subject of religion." The unidentified Memorialists also object to exemption of church property from taxation and disqualification of witnesses who do not profess a religious creed. The argument based on law and First Principles of government is made with enthusiasm. <br/>Not in Sabin AI Eberstadt Decker Marvin Marke Harv. Law Cat. BEAL NUC. unknown books

18421240New York: Wm. G. Boggs printer 1842. 8vo. 46 pp. 1 blank f. <br><br>Mayor Morris refused to swear in Heath and Roome as assessors claiming election irregularity. The state supreme court held: "The loss of the votes in one of the four districts into which the Sixth ward was divided did not defeat the election in that ward. If the votes of the First district are to be considered as wholly out of the question in consequence of the riotous proceedings which drove the Inspectors from the room where they were canvassing the result of the election must then be determined from the votes of the three remaining districts."
