Opinion:
Pratt, J.:
Section 28 of title 8 of chapter 291, Laws of 1870, provides in terms that its provisions shall only apply to villages incorporated under it.
The fact that the Legislature in 18J3 and again in 1883 passed special acts concerning the village of Peekskill shows that it was not then supposed that the board of supervisors had the powers now claimed. The act of 1884 gives no such powers.
The order of Special Term must be affirmed, with costs.
Dykman, J., concurred.
