MORE MANDAMUSING, The Second Avenue Paving Job and Who is to Pay for It—Application for a Mandamus Against the Comptroller Before Judge Brady Judge to Consiber tie Matter. After an interval of repose on the subject of man- amuses against the City Compiroller, giving ac- ceptable qalet to the judges and less employment to lawyers, the subject was revivea yesterday by n application, before Judge Brady, sitting in Su- preme Court Chambers, by Thomas Pearson, for a Mandamus against Comptroiler Green to compel him to pay seventy per cent for work done and ma- terial furnished In paving Second avenue, between Fignty-sixth and 125th streets, The original con- tract was given to Tomas B, Morrell, in July, 1870, the work bemg done under the direction of William NM, Tweed, late Commissioner of Pubitc Works, Mr, Morrell assigned the contract to Mr. Pearson. The aliount Claimed is $49,476 96, it was urged for the mandamus that the Inspector of Pubi:c Works had inspected the progress of the work irom time to time and given certlitvates of the amounts due. Tne Comptrolier lau repeatediy been asked to pay thls amount and had as repeat. edly refused. ite insisted further that the work had been done as required by the contract; that tie con- tractor had expeaded large sums in 118 prosecution; that he was in great need of the money, and thas there W283 noreason why he should not be paid at once, Ample power, hie claimed, was given tne Comptroiler to pay the sum due, through assess- Ment bonds, as allowed by tie statute, ~ The Judge asked if tre matier had beed referred to the Board of Audit. Mr. Pearson’s counsel said that this was not necessary. In opposition to the application it was contended that, owing to the decision of the Court of Appeals that assessments made in pursuance of ordinances Not Advertised tn thg Corporation papors were in- Yalid, the Comptroller was placed In a very un- Pleasant position. The city was at present Mable to some eleven iiliions of dollars, the return of any part of which was very uncertain. ‘The result was, 1¢ Comptroller had been compelled to take & firm stand in the matter and refuse to pay con- tractors where the assessments were invalid some legisiation was had seiuing the matter. an act was now before the Tepiste every reason to believe the AS tle case stood, conte and nove of hes Judge Brady asked how tho Compir t have moneys in his possession applica! Be tone pose unless he could Issue assessment bonds to Taise the money, aud how he could compel tho Comptroiler to issue such bonus if the ordinance of December 30, 1863, authorizing the work to be done and by un “ane tue issue of such bonds Was it self invalid Mr, Poarson’s counsel insisted that the case in the Court of Appea!s did not make the whole ordinance Invalid, but only invalidated 1t as against persons as. sessed, and thac tt did not appear that In this caso there Was notte proper advertisement. As to the n tare, and ne had tho meunes would be Vogel r must take the legal these claims be paia, Bes: latter point he inalsted that the ordinance Was only directory and that the ombssion to advertise it did hot Invalidate it, The Juage said that he should dectdo no applica.

He held that if the question was raised the relator must show affirma. tively the regularity of the ordinance, ana if that ‘was & question necessary to the case he would order a reference. On the other poimt he, for the preseat, reserved his decision, IMPORTANT DECISION. Tae Court of Appeals on the Legality of the Special Seasions when Held by One Juse tiee—Judges Harnurd and Cardozo Suse taincd—Virst Motion Under the Decision The Immediate Cousequencesa—The Wheels of Justice Clogged. A most important motion was made yesterday morning before City Judge Bedford, sitting in Gene- ral Sessions, by Mr. William F, Howe, in his capa city of couvsel for one James Miscal, Who was code victed before one justice of the Special Sessions Court for a minor offence and sent to the Peniten- tary ior a ceriain corm, He was 1alicted for eseap- ing from the Penitentiary and was to have been tried for that offence yesterday morning. For some tne past the question of THE LEGALTY OF THE SPECIAL SESSIONS Court, when heli by one justice, has been dis- cussed among jegal luminaries, aud acted upon by Judges Barnard and Cardozo, of the Supreme Court, jo so far that they held that all convictions had be- fore one justice of the Vourt in dispute were Liege and therefore voll. Sausted of tus, they charged somethiag lke three or four huadved cen: vicied felons, tried aud sentenced at the Court of Special Sessions, on WRIPS OF TIABEAS CORPUS. A section of tue Jaw constituting the Special Ses- sions Court distmetly says that two judges shall peenine at that Court, ‘tne case was fnaily argued elore the General Term of the Supreme Court, and, more tor the purpose of preventing, or at least delayimg a3 MUCH 23 possible, A GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY of the muliiude of oifemlers uncer sentence that tribunal decided that the Special Ses- sions Court was legally neid when held by one justice, aad conseqnentiy all those confined ta our Jats who were couvicced at that Court tad to ro main there, From tue Supreme Court the question Was carried to the Court of Appeals, situag at Albany, The question was ably argued and deci- sion reserved, Yester morning the decision of THE COURT OF APPBALS reversing that of General Term was made pubd- lic, and Mr. Howe’s motion was te first made under that ruling. ‘Lhe whole question ts of the very gravest import. ance to ts community, and one fiat shouid mM terest every taxpayer in the commuaity, as in all probability ail taose sentenced and serving out such sentences 14 the Peaitenuary from the Court of Special Sessions wii bo LET 10088 TO PREY on whe privileges of honest ciiizens and eommit depredations on their property. Mr. Willtam fF, Howe moved to quash the indict.

Upon the de- cision of tie Court of Appeals he demanded tie discharge of bis clieut. Mr. owe argued in a very avle manner for some thine, and Was replied to by Assistant District Altorney Sullivan. But as the decision had not as yet beca perused by eltner Court or counse) attentively, at the suzgesiion of Lis Honor Judge Bediord the iurvaer consideration of the case was VOSTPONED FOR A DAY OR TWO, toafford His Honor Opportunity of studying the decision and rendieriug pis deciston under it This was satisfactory w Counsellor Howe, and the case Went over for tite present, ig wiil be romemvered that the jail clearing by Judges Barnard vod Cardozo formed one of the chiel charges against these gentiemen presented by the Jadiciary Comimitiee, As the Court of Appeals has sustained them, and therevy LEGALIZED THEIR ACTION, this charge, at all eveats, must tal! to the ground. Mr. Howe intends to apply dor warrants of rei for counties ofienders under the new turn of aitaL Tae tmmodiate effecs of the decision will be very ine Jurious to the community without doubt, but then itis the law.
