Sol #823 — 1885 order reversed on jurisdiction

Repo 1885-cayuga-annuity-order-reversal · commit 449a2cc · 1890 Senate Doc. 58 pp.38–46

A New York Supreme Court General Term order of February 26, 1885 adjudged Canadian Cayuga relators entitled to a proportionate share of the $2,300 treaty annuity and directed the Land Office to ascertain population and pay. The same 1890 claimant-side presentation says the Court of Appeals reversed June 2, 1885, for lack of jurisdiction, treating relief as legislative rather than judicial.

The reversed lower order is not a final operative payout decision, not proof of ascertainment or disbursement, and not an independent inspection of the appellate docket. A jurisdiction reversal does not adjudicate treaty merits against the Canadian Cayugas either. ≠ automatic SCLC.
