Stenographer's minutes of Jackson and Perkins against the State of New York in the Court of Claims

This series consists of four volumes of stenographer's minutes documenting the case of Jackson and Perkins v. the State of New York, which was tried before the Court of Claims in Rochester and Syracuse during the months of October and November 1917. The case evolved from property damage claims that the company filed against the state, alleging that repeated flooding of the Clyde River was directly linked to construction of the Barge Canal. Final disposition of the case is not documented in the records.
