George Moore, Appellant v. the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty of the City of New York, Respondents

Summary

The Court reversed the lower court's order granting a new trial and affirmed the verdict, holding that the ordinance authorizing the paving contract was valid despite a failure to publish in one required newspaper, that the Croton Aqueduct Board had authority to contract, and that the City of New York is estopped from denying liability to a contractor who performed in good faith.
