The Judge charged the jury in the case of Fred- if Board, and his papers and affidavits were quite as | mother of the plaintiff died, the latter being her | erick Hoypuer, whose trial upon a charge of rob- extensive. It appeared from the argument that in 1867 the Common Council (without proper advertisement, | Queated the Street Commissioner to make a con- tract for the work, This contract was given to Patrick Quinn, who, on the same aay be received it, assigned it to one Masterson. It was claimed that the bid was collusive be- tween city officials and Quinn; that the proposed contract called for six kinds of work, for two of which he bid sums three times in excess of what other persons bid; but the four other items of work he offered to do for nothing, while the other reed named prices for these lour matters. Thus 18 Aggregate, althoagh larger on two items, was in the six amailler. It was claimed that he aid the Work for which be was to be paid these eno: pects. but purposely reiraiped irom doiug any of | he work which he was to do for nothing, und thereby nad received moneys to the extent of | kbout $65,000 in a irauduient way. and that then | she contract was abandoned, leaving untouched the work that he was to do ior nothiug, and that, notwithstanding his abandonment of tne contract and his demand in such a wongeriui excess, ing | bond to the city had not been prosecutea by order 01 the Compcroiler to this day. lt was claimed that this action on his purt was so jraudulent that tae Board oi Investigation, composed, in tue sum- mer of 1872, of Judges Vau Vorst and Sotnerland Ane David &. Jaques, refused to certily to the mat- it was shown that alter the abandonment of the contract the city relet the work, and especially the work that was to have been betere done for nothing, at high prices to Patrick Farley. It was Dot venied that the officials had the right to relet this tn the manner they did without advertise. ment, but that tne action was impolitic ana ex- pensive to the city aury. ‘This part of the contract, however, W irmed by the investigat- ug board just named. The amount earned by Mr. Farley was said to be, on the argament, $5,000 more; and it was claimed by the piaintit, who peesonted all the property owners between avenue and the East River, on seventy-fitn street, without exception, that not une sin- gle item of tne specifications was other than | ‘wretchedly done; the street was flied in wit Buge boulders of rock, so that 11 was aimost im- possibie to connect with sewers, or Croton water, OF gas pipes, and that tne water would rau through the streets, in consequence ot there being no filling between tue rocks, into the cellars. George W. McCuilam made a very siroug af- davit on this point, Heis a well known bouse- builder in the upver pari of the city. It was also Claimed that the street was imperfectly graaed; that the gutters and curb stones were thin; they Were not wide enough: they were iaid out of line, Neveriheiess, a8 Was said, With supdry warm com- ments, Comptroller dreen, on tne oth of January, 1874, Witu ‘ull Knowiedge 01 the teeing of tne property owners on this subject, certified the work at $127,714 35; and that his certificate inciuded | not only the Farley contract, approved by the | Fog raa Bes the Quinn Contract, Whicu Was not ap- Vv prove Counsel for plainuiff pleaded for an tojan@tion @guinst the Board confirming assessments, on the ground that none of the assessment otticers had ever obtained jurisdiction; that the pubile of cial who originaily sought to let the contract Rever obtained jurisdiction: that the official who relet It ought not to acquire it, because nis juris- diction was dependent Upon the first one; that tne Certifying Board in the matter o the ey contract Ought not to ovtain jurisdiction; that peither the Board oi Assessors nor the Comptrol- ler have obtained it, aud that the Board sougnt to be enjoined ought not to assume it. It was Claimed that tue plaiuiif had no remedy by writ at law, because under the peculiar wording ot the Andrew H. Green statutes of assess- ments of 1874 the moment the Board bad cenfirmed there could be no suit at | law except Jor actual iraud; that this was | impossiole to prove at law from the circumstance | O1 the case and the relation to tt of certain city | Officials, but that the iraud was of an equitabie | ature, gathered irom all tae circumstances, That | by this siatute of 1574, 11 the assessment was con- firmed, there would be a cioud put upon the title | of the plaintuif to his lot and vf all the co-owners | on that street, That under the pecullur working | of the law of 1874 the action iu confirmation by tne Board of Revision raisea the presumption that everything was legal and that if the lots were ever Jeased tor non-payment of the assessment the lease given on the sale subject to redemption wus pre- sumptive evidence o1 the lezality of the proceed- ings and hud to be exactly actached, and however rough it might be for the City ireasurer to pay lor the delinquency and shortcomings oi prior Oiticiais in times gone by, yet the Court or Equity, Uuder all the circumstances, ougit to interiere to prevent the Board trom accomplishing such in« Jury vo the OWners Of property, and to pay this Wwonderiul sum of $127,000 as lea money on lots, go lar from being 10 Whe Sslizntest degree Lenefited by tue so-called improvement, were damniticd twice that amount in the injury aone to the prop- erty by tue irauduient work, On the part oi the Board it was as warmly con. tenaed that the equitabie reiie( o: the Court should be withheld, because ticre was « palpable and compiete remedy at law, by action to vacate the | assessment jor fraud. In opposition to the am: | davits -howing the fraudulent character o1 the work, the opposing aMidavits claimed that the work was properly doue, and that the certificate under the Fa:ley contract approved the work | under the Quinn contract, and Chat the Comptroier was bound to include the amount Of the assess- Ment On both contracts in bis ceruficate, and bad nO discre'ion in the premises, and that the Boara, having quasi judicial duties to petiorm, could not be enjoined, in reply it was said that the remedy at law must be plain and adequate, and that the remedy at law by petition, under the law or 1858, must be for particular iraud, which meant actually traud such as ulteration of figures and coutract, or any apportionment of expenses, or iorgery of names, Or OMISSION Of ONE iOt iNient{oually trom the as- sessment 10 the area, of to include a lot not in the area, or some improper conduct on the part of Gssegsors, and it was reiterated on behall of the property owners tiat there Was on entire iailure Of jusiadiction Gil tnrovgu irom first to last, and that thereiore this appeal to preven: an appre- bended injury was periectly proper.

THEATRICAL LICENSES. ‘The Society for tne Kelormation oi Juvenile De- linquents, notwithstanding the htigation hereto- fore in the matter, seems determined to exact the payment of licenses from theatres and otner places of amusement in the city, pursuant to the act of the Legislature compelling such payment.

A very interesting case growing out of the late political campaign has just been tried before Judge Gross, in the Marine Court, Part 3. ‘he | action was brought by Jacob S. Phillips, printer, against Ooarles H. Reilly, John D, Coughlin and Feodore Mierson, to recover a bill for printing | political cards, posters, circulars, &c., to aid the candidature of the defendant Reilly, an indepen- dent candidate for the Assembly against the Tam- Many nominee, Orlando Stewart. Coughlin and | Mierson were members of the Tammany General | | Committee of the Twentieth Assembly district | and were opposed to the nomination of Stewart, and bolted in consequence of his nomination. They looked round for a proper candidate in opposition and selected the other defendant for the purpose, and induced nim to run on the oppo- ition ticket. A political campaign cannot e run witnout the sinews of war, and as these had to be raised Miergon’ was appointed treasurer. As it appeared on the evi- deuce, Mierson undertook to succeasiully condyct the campaign with $3,000—Reilly to give bim $2,000 and Mierson promising $1,000, *Promises don’t butter parsnips nor raise funds,” and ali Mierson, as he alleges, received Was about $300 cash and two notes of Retily’s for $600 each—total, $1,300; and he says it cost nim over $3,000, besides his labog' in the “lost cause.” A suit was instituted against the late candiaate, Reilly, to recover the amount of the notes given 1o Mierson, which suit Reilly defends, and now Mierson himself ts sued, with his co-desendants, for the balance of the gon refuses to pay. So does Reilly; also Cougniin. | Reilly, upon the ground that he never autuorized | sandy Whiskers, was arraigned on @ charge of or ordered the work. Coughiin, on the same grounds. ‘Tne version giveo by Reilly is, that when he eutered the Campaign it was to cost nim nothing—“not a cent.” All he had to do. was to spend his time and allow nis name to be used in the good fight. and though he was not clected tt cost utm a great deal, “yes, heaps of money.” Coughlin resiified tuat he entered the fignt, spent mis time and | money, made several speeches, went ‘0 public places and drank liquors, <c., to promote the elec- tou of Reilly; he met Retily on the day vefore the election; asked Lim for the moncy thut Was prom- | ised to pay for expenses, $6,000, inen $3,000, then | Chambers showed fgut and pullea out @ six-bar- $1,400, but Reiily did not see it; he said to Reilly unless the money came the contest might as weil ent here; them Retliy said Mierson was to pay all expeuses; Ne (Cougbliu) SAW no money, Tue can- didate, Reilly was deieated, This Was all very well among the principals, but did not pay the printer, who, among other artcles, supplied iarge and smail posters, gutter snipes, secret cir cuiars and German bills with the name of “Oharles tl.
