Samuel Seabury
Samuel Seabury 1873-1958, American jurist, b. New York City; great-great-grandson of Samuel Seabury (1729-96). He served on the supreme court (1907-14) and on the court of appeals (1914-16) of New York state. He became nationally prominent when he headed (1930-31) investigations of New York City's magistrate courts and the city's politics. As a result of these investigations, Mayor James Walker resigned in 1932. The Tammany faction was defeated in the ensuing elections by Fiorello LaGuardia , whom Seabury had supported. He wrote The New Federalism (1950).
