Another Case Decided Against the Comptroller. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Charles Sanvora, charged with being a party to Che attempted robbery of he County Bank, cor. ner of Eignth avenue and Fourteenth street, pleaded gulity through his counsel, ex-Magor Hail, ‘who made a strong appes! for merey, and pre duced letters showing the excellent character of prisoner prior to his arres well a6 during Bia incarceration jor the past year. tenced to the Penitentiary for one year. @barles Meehan pleaded guilty to burglary in the ®hird degree. ‘he indictment charged that on ‘the 27th of June he effected an entrance into the house of Lernard Siiverblati, No. 173 East Broad- Way, and stole male and temale wearing apparel and jeweiry of theaggregate vuiue of $560, Meehan ‘Was sent to the State Prison ‘or flye years. LEASES BY THE COMMON COUNCIL. An applica'ion was recently made tn Supreme | ourt, Chambers, before Judge Brady, for 4 man- @amas against Comptrolier Gre to compe! him %o sign a lease of that portion of No, 27 Chambers | Street which the Common Councll had taken ata eertain anvual rental for the use of one of the Dranones of the Mariae Court, Tne tacts were Suily given in the izKALp at the argument of the ease. Judge Bracy gave his decision im the mat- ter yesterday, tne followimg belog bis written pinion :— 5 The power of the Common Counetl to deter- mine upon aleave of premises for the use of the ~ ity ts lectalative and is unlimited, except as to the term of yeurs, Section 18 of the charter of 1873 (Laws 434) declares that the Common Qcunett shail have no power totake or make a lease of ] a@uy reul estate, save at A reasonable rent and for | @ period not exc-eding five yeurs, unless specially | @utnorized so to do by an act of the Legislature. ‘This is the only restriction. The exercise or tis power is guarded by the provisions of section 14, Which deciares that the votes of three-fourths of @il the members elected to each Board shall _pe- ome necessary to its passage. Sections 89 and | 112 do not affect the exercise of this power. They relate to the departments for which appropria- ‘tions bave been made “to departments and boards or officers,” and by board is meant board in any department of the city government (Sec. 89), The Fesiriction !mposed is sgainst incurring any ex- @ unless an appropriation shall have been | revious!y mace covering it. Section 29 ues not any way militate against the views thus ex- pressed. It relates to contracts, the cost of the | execution of whico ig not by law or ordinance; in Whole or in part, to be paid by assessments upon | the property benefited, and a8 to wuicn there is Ro balance r@matning unexpended and unapplied of whe appropriation applicable thereto sudicieut | to pay the estimated expense of executing them as certified by the officer making the same. ‘This evicently relates to obligations other | than leases, the expenses of executing which are ' nor certified py the — otticer making the same, and therefore to those relating | to work to be done on supplies to be furnished. This is the more apparent from the provision that | 4% shall be the duty of the Comptroiler to make an andorsement upon the contract presented to him, | if such be the fact taat there reinains unapplied | and uvexpended a balance of the vppropriation | a@pplic:bie, and to hoid and retain such sum to | es the expense incurred unril the contract shall | e fully performed, When tne lessor eails upon the Comptrolier to pay the rent accruing tt will,| De time enouirn to assert, if such be the tact, that’| there 1s no {und to which be can resort to periorm | That duty, and the courts may then be callea | Upon to consider the legality of such answer. the | Question ls not Row Wheiner the Comptroller is to | par, but whether he can prevent the ex=rcise of | gwlative power expressly conferred upon the | Gommon Council by the assertion chat | there is no provision by way of appropria- tion made to meet the burden assumed. Af such be the effect of the charver it necessarily | follows that no jease can be Made until an aypro- Priation hasbeen made im contemplation of It, ‘which it seems would be unwise una illogical, ‘The lease might not be made owing to one of | many causes which might igtervene, and the sum | @esigned to meetit would then nave been un- pecesearily named and tuciuged. It may also be @aid that by the second gection of the act of 1874 | (chap. 308, Laws of 1874, p. 302), the Board of Estt Mate and Apportionment are given tae power at guy time to transier any appropriatron for any year wuicn may be found by the board of the de- artment {or Which Suck appropriation svall have een made to be in excess of the amount reqaired or decmed to be necessary for (ke purpese or Objects thereo! to meey other purposes or onjects | Jor Which appropriauiofs are insuuicient or such ‘| a8 may require the same. It way Li be doubted ‘whether, if the city retused to pay because of an exhausted appropriation, the courts would not | Fequire evideuce tuat there was no such excess as the law just referred 10 contempiates. It 19, however, "unnec to ue this subject | gorcher. wjections urged | by the Comp: ie e v sul ent to prevent | The success Of (2is Mviion, aud it Must theresore be denied.
