Sol Finding #941 — Council of Revision objected to 1795 annuity cap; legislature overrode
GPT-6 Sol finding #941 (repo 1795-cayuga-council-revision-override, commit 7ee7ab2): On April 9 1795 New York’s Council of Revision objected that the Oneida/Cayuga annuity cap used a 4-shilling-per-acre base while land lots could not sell below 16 shillings, inferring at least three-fourths of the disposition would benefit the state contrary to the prior “sole benefit” assurance. Senate and Assembly each overrode by two-thirds. This is a contemporaneous warning — not audited profit or a judicial invalidation. Photographed 1912 reprint of the 1795 Assembly Journal and chapter 70.
