10 NEW YORK CITY. THE COURTS. SUPREME COURT—GENERAL TERM. Whe Stafford Pavement Question on Appeal by the City Corporation. Before Judges Barnard, Ingraham and Cardozo. Peter Dolan, Respondent, vs. The Mayor and Com- ‘monatty of New York, Thomas Stevens et al., Com- missioners Qf the Croton Board, Appellants,—This {= an appeal from an order of Mr. Justice Suther- d continuing an injunction granted by Mr. Justice restraining the defendants from entering to @ contract for paving Seventh avenue from urteenth street to Fifty-ninth street with a wooden pavement known as the Stattord pavement, The complaint is filed by Dolan, owner of lands and remises in Seventh avenue, on bebalf of himself d other owners on that avenue. \_ The respondent and plaintiff, through his counsel, John McKeon, claimed that this court may enjvin a prin ge corporation and is bound to interfere to ere iegal or Cone action of the corporation; t the coxporation, as trustees of the people, have eee to impose burdens on them on the pre- ce of improvement; and this pavement, never uid involve a waste of $400,000 f the public a The allegation of the com- aint that the resolution directing the contract to entered into was procured by corrupt and illegal Means had never been denied by any of the defend- fsa and where several were implicated in @ Wing been tried, wor ‘aud the court would insist upon all answer- ig the charge. It was further ‘contended that the Board of Councilmen at the time f the eof the resolution had no legal exist- 6%, thelr terms having expired priot thereto, and @ law under which they claimed to hold ofice by Virtue of legisiative extension of thelr terms of oftice freotton 8, tax levy of 1867) was unconstitutional, and as 80 declared by the Court of Appeals. The prin- ciple that a court must recognize the act of the de mnembers did not here apply. It might have effect where contracts have been entered Ink om where the rights of (hird parties were aifected, but there was fiere no color of title, and where mothing had been already done to give effect to a vold resolution the Court should not stretch the doctrine of de/acto oillcers. Another ground was that the coutract could not be let to the lowest bid- der, the pavement being patented, The resolution Was adopiea at a necting of the Board rere con- vened at six o'clock on the evening of the Isth Feb- ruary, 1568, the Board having previously adjourned at three P. M., and, with few exceptions, all persons diving on the avenue were opposed to It. there ‘was any doubt the injunction should stand until the final hearing, as the experiment might cost uiillions, and the question of law involved was of serious tm- portance. ‘The appellants claimed thyt the pavement was a d Ole; that there was no proof of bribery, and if here was it was a subject of criminal prosecution of the guilty bree and not the annulment of the contract. That under the rule prohibiting experi- ments the city would be deprived of the advanta; of availmg itself of many pubiic improvements, aiid if the principle as to proposals for contracts ‘were enforced the city could not employ any patented tn- Vention or improvement until th letters patent had | expired, The court reserved its decision. Ynportant Decision in the Matter of Public oe ~ Assessments, *~ aa In ihe Matter of Frederick D. Tappan, to vacate Assessments, éc.—In this case objections were made to sales of certain real estate in this city, for the sat- tefaction of various assessments levied, and specific ob'ections were raised in each case. The principal objections, however, were that under the statute the collector of assessment must make aitidavit in form that he has demanded the payment of the assessment twice from the owner or owners, or that after due and Alligent search and inquiry the owner or owners could not be found; and, second, ‘that the saics were made under a general ordinance, — in 1849, directing the Street Commissioner to dvertise the property on which assessments are overdue for sale, The act says that “When such aii- @avit Las beon made, &c., and the assessment shall de due, the Mayor and Commona'ty may take order for advertising the said lands and tenements, orany of them, for sale.” The applicant claimed ie that Jthe statute required of the Mayor and ‘he Commonaity a judicial determination in lhe case, gud that the conferring o' this power by the ordi- ance of 1819 upon the Street Commissioner was void, and that tie general prospective ordinance was also null and of no effect. The Couri at the c'ose of the argument sustained the applicant's objections, and thus an important serles of litigations may be Mnangurated to recover moneys paid out of the pro- cceds of sales enforced under like circumstances. Another Interesting Question of Assessme: Inthe Matter of the Application of Cortland @. Palmer, wc.—The petitioner 1s the owner of real es- ‘tate in this city and made application to the Court at Apecial Term to have the assessment for sewerage on his property vacated. The Court beiow vacated the assessment and this was an appeal from that order, It appears that in 1865 the Legislature direct- @d the Croton Aqueduct Board to prepare plans for wel , aud directed that until they shouid devise plan for such drainage no sewerage should be com- leted in certain districts. A plan was drawn and mpleted, but was never finally adopted, owing to me delay in the matter of deciding upon certain nnections to made, They nevertneless assessed applicant upon his real property on the Jine of he projected improvement. The Court aMirmed the order of Special Term vacating the assessment 90 SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Whe Arrested Ilegal and Would-Be Voters Discharged. Before Judge McCunn. In ie Matter of Patrick Heffernan ana Tiwenty- Pre Others.—These parties were arrested and com- mitted by Judge James on charges of voting or attempting to vote illegally. Jadge McCunn yes- terday rendered the following decision discharging all the 18 :— The facts invo:ved in these several cases are al, and the decision of one will The only warrant, process or paper on which the prisoners are held is a tem- rary commitment in the fodowing words and res:— The warden of the City Prison and Rridewell of the city of jew York will receive aud safely keep for examination the dy of Jacob Bennett, charged with atlempting to vole 7 and false personation. A BJAMES, Justice Supreme Court, Officer —— —, precinct No. —, New York, Nov. &, 1803. A mere glance at this docnment suMces to exhibit ata insuMciency to justify the detention of the peti- tioners. First, the affidavit, deposition or complaint on which this warrant issued, iP any indeed existed, 2# not flied and preserved, a condition made indis- Pensable by an act passed ed of March, 1806 (Hd- qWond’s Stat. at Large, vol. 6, p. 700); second, the Warrant or mittimus must state that the party has been charged upon oath. It is further requsite that the name of the party — the charge upon oath should appear in the paper. Jt does not i here who makes the oath, #0 that even had the paper ghown a charge upon oath it would have been fatally Gefective in not disclosing the name of the com- lainant. The circumstances under which these joners were arrested by order of a trustee of the jupreme Court imported from a distant court in an bie chamber in the Metropolitan Hotel ight provoke some inquiry asto the right of this fu and the authority of his tribunal and the | lidity of his warrants; but the cases being deter- Mined by the foregoing considerations, | forbear the challen crit.citm out of respect to a member of a o0-ordinate branch of the judiciary. The prisoners Must be discharged. COURT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. fore Jadges Dowimg and Kelly.

Disastrous Floods In the Colony of Natal= Loss of Life and Immense Destruction of Property. [From the Cape Town Argus, Sept, 19.) Since “the food” of 1856 no disaster has befallen the colony to compare with that which has just be- fallen us from the same cause. On Friday afternoon, the 2 of August, the rain began to fail, with squalls from the southwest, and continued througi- Out, almost without intermission, until tae forenoon of Monday, a space of about sixiy-Give hours, Ly ing @ great portion of this time, in fact from two Py.

On Sunday, (ue rising of the rivers, and especially of the Cingeni, indicated that heavy rans had falicn in tie upper country as Well as on the coast, aud fears began to bé entertained for the safety of the bridges. At whe Queen's bridge, oa the Uingent, about a mile and a half from the sea, reeds, sugar canes, trees, and at leugth two Lit- tle Umber bridges frou feeders of Lhe inain stream were constantly being carried down, and as the leve of the water approacned the girders of the bridy: this debris began to be arrested and to accumulate. About maiduigat a large ports of the ns bridge itself gave way, how ch could not, of course, be Known in the darkness and ihe storm; and about four A.

For days tae mails were stopped allowetber or de- layed; and even now, a week after, fntelligence has it yet been recelved {row some of ‘thy more remote & of the colouy. ‘Tie wreal Muias fiat, extending rom the head of the bay to the Isip ngo, fiftesn nules distant, and to a considerable exven) culile d for suger, vi , Was under Water, and mich damage has been done, phourn the extent 18 not known, The two Mulas bridges, the public one an’ that to the Reunion estate, @ carried off, aud the 2,000 yards on the hither side of its former ¢| el.

Sudden torrents and landstips have hur- ried acres of cane and coffee plants, with the soil that bore them, down to the sea. Bridges have gone with them, yoynig gales have opened across the main roads, or and massses of earth from above have blocked them up, It is impossible as yet at least to estimate at all accurately the extent of damage that has been done. That to public works has beenset down at about £50,000, while private persons are a varie Ay on have sust regate by esas, widespre: al the lower estimate may correct. The rainfall at ene boruood, according to Dr. Suther! , Was 12.76 inches, considerably less than in the vic! of Durbaa, and in the direction of the counties of Klip Raver and Newcastle it is not even sald to have been excessive or more than acceptable, No statement has yet ap) of the losses since te. stock and sheep farmers in the upper country, but it will pro- bably turn out to be cousiderable w! ver the rain has reached, ‘The railway embankment near the Queen’s bridge was in two or three places undermined and swept off, @ bridge on the Point !ine destroyed and the line otherwise So injured as to put a stop to all waftic for aweek. It is now, however, resumed, although the repalis have not been quite completed, yn the very dayon the morning of which the Queen's bridge was destroyed the colonial engineer, who happened to be in Durban, took measures to have boats on the Umgeni near the site of the late bridge. ‘Thus the passenger trailic has not been interrupted even for aday. On the day following Mr. Paterson proceeded to Maritzburg to lay before the Lieutenant Governor a plan for @ temporary bridge, which could be got ready in 8lx weeks, 80 that the whole sugar crop of Victoria county, now jusc beginning to be got in, should suiler no un- necessary delay in being brought to market. Eight years before—namely, in April, 1848—heavy floods had been experienced, although not equal to those of 1866, and native tradition spoke of other foods at the same season. People had therefore come to regard April as the month when danger was to be apprehended from this cause. Yet we have not been without warning in the month of Ansys. Amid all the disasters of these eventful last days there is one thing for which we have to be greatly thankful—the comparatively small number of lives which have been lost, The only white man known to have perished is a youth of the name of Barr, an only son, who, with two companions, attempted to swiin the river Umhioti to Gis father’s sugar mill. The other two succeeded in getting across, but youn; Barr, although @ good swiinmer, was carried off, and his ne has not yet, I belleve, been found. Of cooiles and Kaitirs sorae six or eight are kuown to have perished. The Swedish brig Vaeringer, the only vessel In the outer anchorage at the time, had @ narrow escape. Sho lost one anchor and dragged the other for upwards of a mile, until she got among the breakers not very far from the mouth of the Umgeni. Whether the strong flow from the river enabled her to hold this position, or whatever may have been the cause, she succeeded in Weathering the storm, and after recovering thé pro- per anchorage ground has now come happily lagi, rom the greatiy increased caltivation within th last twelve years the amount of damage done to crops, mills and country buildings generally is much greater than that sustained by tue colony in 1350, On tive other hand, the town bulld are now gen- erally, at least in Durban, of 4 juuch more substan- IND CESIRCIST tila tiey were in 1356. a ARREST OF MNS. HARPER, THE FEMALE FORSER. [From the New Haven Register, Nov. 4.) In the women’s department at the police head- quarters is Mrs. Harper, the noted forger, who a few «ays since was allowed to escape from Haddam jail, where she was confined for forgery committed in Middletown, it seems iat she weat directiy to her home in New York city. She was first arrested in New York by officer Stillwell, of the sletective force. Otticer Wilcox, of Middletown, when he heard of her escape, at once telegraphed the facts to oillcer Still- well. On Sunday, as he stepped out of an eating house in Broadway, he saw his prisoner walking at a rapid gait down Broadway the rain, which was falling quite fast. He atonce arrested her, and on Monday night sbe was brought to this city and assigned quarters at the station house, We dropped in there Tuesday, to see the women who had made such a stir in the com- munity. We were politely ushered into the apart- ments where she was, when tho following dialogue took Place:—Reporter—' Well, they have got you again.” Mrs. Harper—‘‘Yes, and what do you want ” R.—“Came here to see you.” Mrs. H.— it, you have seen me, and that will do.” ‘hink we have seen you before.” Mrs. H.—“Well, whatif we have?” R.—We had a desire to see such a noted women as you are.” Mrs. H.—“I am nothing but a woman.” She refused to give us anything of her history. Sne is apparently thirty-five years of age, although she says she is only twenty-eight. She was married sole twelve years ago, and has two children in New York. She would not lisp @ word about her husband, She was to be taken to Middletown this morning. the neigh- Hvumors ov THE ELscrion.—“You Don’r Tru ME So."—An honest hearted democrat from Win sor came to town early last evening, and steered at once for democratic headquariers to get the news. dust as he got to the foot of the stairway leading to the roou ie was accosted by one of the faithful, who said:—''The State has gone for Grant.” “By golly to tlunder; gosh darn it all, my stars, you don’t tell me so!” “Yes, and that ain’t the worst of it—New Haven has gone back on us!” “No! thun- der and lightning, you don’t tell me so!” “Yes, and that aiu’t the worst of it; Pennsylvania is all one Og for Grant.” “Hang my garters, blazes an imblets, you don’t tell me so!
