THE COURTS. Legal War Declared Against Side- walk Infringements. WAKING UP IN SLEEPY HOLLOW. | Foreign Assignees and Their Powers Under Federal Laws. CONTESTED CLAIMS OF CITY CONTRACTORS. A case, the final result of which may be temporarily Giscomfting to picayune peanut and pic d who monopolize the sidewalks for the sale of their wares, but of vastly more importance to the public, made the victims of such sidewalk infringements, came up for argument yestoraay in Supremo Court, Chambers, be- fore Judge Donohue. About a year ago Mrs, Jane P. Emmons crected a shed at the corner of Cortlanat and Church streets, where she vended pies and such Nike cheap productions to such of the passers-by as * favored her wita their patronage, Deeming this an in- Iringer law the Commissioner of Pablic Wor hed to be tuken down, Discom- Atted, but not altogether discouraged, Mra, Emmons applied to the Board of Aldermen for permission to a) another shed on the samo corner, and tho avy her such permission. Armed with the resolution vonierring on ber this power she announced her intention of enlarging the boundaries of her out- joor hostelry, the dimensions of tac new shed to bo at end. Mr, Campbell, the Commissioner of Public Works, gave notice that such a structure would not be allowed, and thereupon Mr. Stoutenburg, on behalf of Airs. Emmons, applied to the Supremo Court for an in- Junction prohibiting Mr. Campbell from interfering With the erection of the proposed structure, A tem- porary injunction was granted to this ellect, and the Matter came up yesterday on tho question of the con- Unuance or dissolution of the injunction, Assist- ant Corporation Counsel Andrews made quite a@ lengthy argument, insisting that the Com- mon Council had no power to grant & permit to obstruct the streets for a private purpose, that such a structuro would be a public nuis- ‘ance and that 1 was strictly pronibited by statutes and by the last city charter. He added that the strucwure 10 question would oceupy the sidewalk its whole leagth and some feet of its width. Mr, Stoutenberg took the ground that it was simply an encroachment, and as such did not come witbin tho provisions of the statutes and city charter, Judge Donohue took the papers, reserving his decision, ° TARRYTOWN LAND COMPANY. The proceedings taken by the Attorney General to diesolve what is known as the Tarrytown Land Com- pany, and the cat which led to that suit, were re- cently published exclusively inthe Hxxaup, In the account thus publisho brief reference was made to the suit brought intbe Court of Common Pleas by Josepn Seligman and Anarew N, Stout against William HL Guinn, growing out of transactions in connection with some property conveyed by the land company. This suit camo up tor argument yesterday before Chief Justice Daly, jo the Court of Common Pleas, on a demarrer to the answer, The complaint states that in October, 1872, the Larry. town Heights Land Company conv: lifteen acres of their lands to Mr. Guion for $30,000, subject to morte gages, the money to be paid in March, 1376; tnat in Beptember, 1875, the company trausierred to plaintiffs pany , Guion, that 4s stock, to’congist of $1,000,000, was all paid in, and that st would improve the land and bring acl of purchasers who would build elegant residences, which would greatly enbance tho value before the time arrived for payment by defendant, and that he, re- lying on this, paid $2,000 an acre for filteen acres. Tho defendant says that the land was really only worth $300 an acre, except the speculative purposes of thi geompany were carried out; that the capital stock hi never been paid up as represented, and that (wodays aiter jis sucorporation the company purchased its Jonds, subject to $244,000 mortgages, tor $1,000,000; that the company, to get rid of its indebtedness for Mortgages, made a deed to the Union Trust Company, doseph Selzman and others, to secure the issuo of $250,000 in bunda. The defences are chiefly—traud on Gelendent in pretended payment of their capital stock, apd that the deed by which the company conveyed their property to secure the bonds wi Walid; that the company is insolvent and 18 gu ty against prior mortgages worthivss ; wherefore he prays that his contract to pay them ),000 be dissolved, The decis- jon was reserved on the motion, ‘ POWERS OF FOREIGN ASSIGNEES, ‘There was quite a prolonged and exhaustive argu- ment before Judge Sanford in the Special Term of tho Superior Court yesterday on a demurrer to the com- Plaintin the suit of William Tarquand and Edwara Waterhouse, trustees, against Johu E, Kennedy and another, It would scom that Benson & Co., tho Plymouth Iron Company, of London, and Kennedy & Co., of New York, entered into large transactions on Joint account in 1871, 1872 and 187, mvolving a ship- ment of halt a million dollars’ worth of rails, selling them here for cash und ratiroad bunds and remitting the proceeds to London, The agreement was that the three firms were to share equally in the protits or Josses.

The two assignecs now caliupon Kennedy & Co,, the third partner in tho transuction, to decount for the proceeds of Fhe assets \o their hands.

Some time ago Mr. W. H. Munday origin- ated a complaint against the Excise Commissioners in which their authority was questioned under the old law, The complaint was dismissed, and the matter was taken betore the Court of Appeals, which tribunal has rendored a decision setting forth that the Board of Excise bave no power at law to grant loenses to persons other than the keepers of umn, taverns or hotels, to sell strong and spirituous liquor aud wines to be drunk on the p ises of those jicensed, Alter this decision Mr. Munday, in order to bring the matter forward, brought a compiaint against Jumes Gibney, a liquor dealor at Fordham.

M, Bates & Co., ro- cently mado a motion in the Court of Oyerand Terminer, [{ at Pittsburg, Pa., to quash the indictment against Mr, Bates and others, charging them with conspiracy 10 Procure the arrest of Thoodoro F, Phillips, formerly a merchant of Pittsburg, for obtaining goods under jalse pretences. Dr, Stewart, after arguing the case, showed that Phillips appeared belore the Grand Jury id procured the indicts it without the knowledge of the Court or District Attorney; that upon thisa re- quisition was obtained from Governor Hart: Governor Kobingon for the purpose of taking Co. to Pittsburg for trial; that Govornor Rubinson reiused to grant the requisition upon the ground that the dolendants were not fugitives trom justice, but that this left the indictment at Pittsburg standing in full force In granting the motion to quash Judge Kirkpatrick strongly condemned the whole proceed- ing {n this case, saying it appearcd ‘monstrous that arespectuble citizen of another St or any citizen, ‘without an arrest and examination belore a magistrate, and without the kuowledge of the Court or District Attorney, could be indicted by the Grand Jury upon the Information of a private irresponsible citizen and thus branded ertminal.’? “GIVE ME MY BUGGY!" The dashing Mrs. Campbell, who a few woeks ago horsewhipped her husband in the Central Park, ap- peared at the Eighin District Court yesterday morn- ingas plaintif' in an action to recover the value of a buggy taken from her by Mr, Campbell. Sho aamits that he gave her the buggy as a present, and alleges that subscquently ho took it away, and now she seeks | to have him pay her the price of the vehicle, $250, Counsel for Mr, Campbell claimed that the relation- ship of husband ana wile being admitted, and there be- 1Dy an equity in the case, the woman could not sue, aod the Court bad no jurisdiction, The first objection, which was iounded on com- mou law, was not well taken on account of statutory modifications, and Justice Clancey reserved decision in the second case as to the equity involved, A third objection was taken and sustained by the Judge. Counsel argued that the complaint containea no alegation of ademand having been mado, and on this ground he moved to dismiss, The omission being fatal the Judge dismissed the complaint. Mra, Camp- bell intends to draw up another complaint, in which te that demand has been made for the buggy. As she was about to leave court, in company with a party of ladies and gentiomen, she walkoa to where Mr. poell Standing and said, with dramatic and eloquent geature, “Mr, Camp- bell, give me my buggy.” THIEVES AS HOUSE HUNTERS, The door bell of William M.

THE ASHES AND GARBAGE. To tax Evitor ov raw Hemant 1 have been reading your article op the mode of tak- ing care of refuse, garbage, &c., in our city and ip London. We dump it at the gutter tn the street, and in the city of London it is put in a pit im the rear yard and emptied periodically. Why would not this plan be More feasible to reverse it, instead of a pit in the rear yard place it on the sidewalk near the curb, which would remove all these old burre's and boxes conveni- ent for the dustmon or cartman to remove daily? One of the present aifficultios seems to be the want of a dumping ground alter being collected, Perhaps some enterprising capitalist would be glad to take all retuse from our city tree of charge, and utilize the same by using the astes for filling iv low lands, the street sweeplngs as a fertilizer and the garbage for feeding swine. Give such party the privilege for five or ten Years of removing the same trom our docks {red of charge, which would enable them to go to the expense of equipping themselves with boats, &c.
