In April, 1854, the son gave to the father $687 45, in bills due to the firm, and the ae fae = fe $1,800, ba ‘agreement, made e firm in good and ere the conouxrente of both of its members, at the firm; the loss of the plaintiff in pacity his debt was a sufficient consideration fo: it.

With this the father son immediately contrived their plans and carried them out; and the question is, whether they should be aided by the Court to make effectual a scheme in which they colluded together to gain an advantage to the father over other creditors of firm, against the known and express wishes of the other member of the firm. clearly show that the action against the de- fendants was commenced and carried on by 1 ite parts by the ir his was The ‘plaintif’s its, the intiff’s counsel insisted that it wasa do ba ‘The plaintiff's attorneys lived in Madison county, not far from the residence of the plaintiff; they condusted all the proceedings and all the papsrs in the cause, in- cluding the offer of the defendant Everson, and any otaer a part of the defendant were in their hand- 1s The summons was addressed to both defendants; it had no date to it.

Some of these complaints have been repeated again and egain, without effect, The ashes are not re- moved, and the housekeepers are compelled to throw them into the streets. The Mayor should have this mat- ter attended to at once, if he would preserve the reputa- tion which he has gained for the enfercement of the laws in other particulars. Of course it is impossible to clean the streets while they remain (n their present condition; but this is nuisance which can easily be abated, if the proper means are taken; and these means, we be- lieve, are im the control of Mr. Wood himself. The street contractors are under bonds to @ certain amount for the performance of their contracts, and the Mayor bas the power to prevent the payment of their bills, by refusing to sign his name thereto. This is a negative power, it ix true, but still it would prove almost as effective in this case as if he had complete contro! over the matter. ‘The sidewalks in many of the publ'c parks are almost impassavle, in consequence of the snow not having beers removed. The Mayor can hardly expect housekeepers to keep the walks in front of their doors clean, when those have this matter attended to at once, It would be well also, for the Commisrioner of Streets and Lamps to have the streets in his own immediate neighborhood kept ia a of lumber on credit, the purchaser stating at the time | Detter condition than they haye been for some time that he was s responsible man, No. 825 Kighth avenue.
