McLeod Case Upheld State Jurisdiction Remands for Trial
The New Era reports that New York courts sustain state sovereignty in the McLeod case. The Supreme Court of New York rejects federal surrender to Britain, holding the offence occurred under New York law and that the state must try McLeod in Niagara County. Judge Cowan delivers the opinion with extracts arguing against British minister Fox and Secretary Forsyth, warning that federal action would weaken state rights and invite foreign influence.
