It js also urged that as the act enuues the Court of Claims to give judgment oniy for the proceeds of property which bave paid tuto the Treasury, in the absence of the evidenos of the entry contended tor, as to What the proceeds are, the Court has no data upon which to enter judginent, It has no power to render & pro tanto yudgment, as was done tn tins case.

He pleads the general issue, and also seis up in his answer a special viea, to the effect that at the time tne alleged promise was made the defendant was married; that tne plainut ‘was not a chaste woman; that she was habitually intemperate; that whe was a person of very violent temper; that several times, after the alleged promise Dad been given, sie made threats of violence against the defendant, and with pistols and other weapons pursued defendant at different times and from place to place; thay in consequence of this conduct on the part of the plaintin, defendant's ille was in danger, and that the disposition, habits, con- duct and temper of the piaintim are such as to entirely unfit her for marriage to any person.

Edward Harvey petitioned the Court to vacate an assessment for the widening of Vanderbilt avenue, His objection was that the Common Council fixed the district of assessment at half a block on each side of Vanderbilt avenue, from Atlantic to Flatbush avenue, whue in 1865 that end of Vanderbilt avenue nearest to Flatbush avenue was taken for a plaza tor Prospect Park. The Board of Assessors deter- mined not to lay any assessment on the plaza, ‘Which the petitioner insisted they should have done. Judge Gilbert, in his decision, said that if the Common Council intended an assessment to be made, or if Vanderbilt avenue, tn fact, extended to Flatoush avenue, such intention was of no eitect, for the assessors are not bound to assess the whole district fixea by tie Common Council. If the as- sessors themselves erred in not extending their assessment over more property that error can only be corrected upon certiorari. The Jadge sail iturther that Lhe assessment in this case seemed very unjust and oppressive, but he did not see how Mr. Harvey could be relieved in ts proceeding. The prayer of the petiuoner must therefore be denied, CITY COURT. An Alleged Nuisance. Before Judge Neilson.
