The present Board, since 1873, has continued to bring similar suits, These actions were about as numerous and as annoying to property owners as those for the Violation of corporation ordinances were to business mep, Tho suits were brought in one of the district tourts, and many people from ail parts of the city were compolled to visit that court, ‘Thy defendant in this case was the owner of prop- erty up town which the Board repeatedly ordered hor to fill up, ‘These orders she did not obey, and a num- ber of actions ior penalties have been brought against her. Ineacn caso she was successful, until finally, several months ago, one caso, decided in her favor below, was reversed at General Term ou the ground that the court velow hud placed its decision upon an erroneous ground. Thereupon tho case Was tried and decided to plainuil’s favor im the district court, and from that judgment this appeal was tuken by defendant It Was urged on the part of the defendant that there was no law imposing any penalty for a tullure to obey the special oruers 01 the present Bourd of Healto and that ail the actions brought heretofore were without avy warrant in law. An extensive examination of the statutes was involved in the decision of the case, aud Chiet Justice Daly bas written 4 long und exhauotive * pinion on tbis case, and reverses the judgment ren- dered below in piantif?s favor aud bolds that there 1s no law imposing the penalties sued for, The decision piven is uuauimous, Judges Van Hoesen and J. F. Daly Concurring with tue Chiet Justice in bis opinion, W. P. Prentice, counsel to the Board of Health, appeared for plainuiland Allison & Shaw for detendaut, Sumucl A. Mowrey, Jr, brought a suit against the World Mutual Life Lusurance Company to recover oa a policy of insurauce ou the lite of Neison H. Mowrey, taken out March 3, 1868, Nelson Mowrey died April 8, 1368, aud tue suit is defended on the ground tuat the tusured made erroneous answers to tue questions printed 1m the policy and by 1 terms made warrantees, swer to the quesuion as to What his busimess was r, when in tact he answered that he Was a mavulactu he was a hquor dealer, He also asse auotner question, that he bad never veen attended on his own uccount ‘by a physician, aod also that he did not use alcohone liquors, all of which 11s claimed wero erroneous avswers, On the trial the complaint wus dismissed on this ground, Judge Larremore, who writes the opinion of the Geueral Term 0: the Court of Yominon Pieus, reverses this decision, holding sub- biapiwully tbat the answers were correct, In the suit of Ciayton Belknap against General Duniel E, Sickles, which was brought to recover jor money aliegea to bave been loaned we defendant in L861 by A. A. Belknap, and the claim jor which was sssigued to the plaimtill, the defendant, among other desences, pleaded the statute of limitations, The cuse came belore \ue General erm of the Court of Common Pleas on a motion wo make the fourth subdivision ot bis anewer more defluite and certain by stating the times of his ubsence irom tho State of New York from Jury 1, 1869, to December 1, 18/6, and tor what period tis continued, Lhe Geveral Term—Judge Rovinson writing tue opinion —bolus that the ime of the de- fendant’s absence should bave béen stated, aud, with certain modilicatious, reverses tho order appealed from. In the case of Phoebe B. Allen against Otto Meyer, the lawyer, in which an attachment was grated dgainst ihe deiendant on the ground that he was dis- posing of bis property with inient to deiraud bis Creaitors, a motion tu Vacate the attachment was granted at Special erm, The General ierm of the Court of Common Pieas—Chiet Justice Daly writing the opinion—reverses that decision, holding that the facts Were such a3 to have @ | tendency to make out the charge Dr. Alexander B, Mott was in his carriage on Third avenue, aud, while arawing vp by the sidewalk, was run into and overturned ap injured by a cur of the Consumers’ Ice Company. 0: . suit Jor damuges the complaint Was dismissed on account of the aliega- on that the driver ‘walluily”? drove into the plain- 1ill’s.wagon, delendants not being responsible for wil- fui misconduct of their servants, The General Term vf the Common Pleas, through Judge Larremore, sus tained the dismissal, NIPPED IN THE BUD. A point of law which abusive persons ought to take in was brought to light before Judge Potter in Part 2 of the Sapreme Court yesterday. Charles Lehretter, who owns a tenement house, sued Charles Heinemann, a Custom House clerk, for damages. ‘ihe complaint ‘wos tor slander tn saying that the plaintiff took out | Tent from bis female tenauts in up immorai Way, Was illegitimate and that one of bis female tenants had men in her room frequently. These spicy remarks, if reduced to writing, woul’ be libellous, but as spoken, the Judge, on the motion of Louts Post, held were not nderous, inasmuch as no crime ugainst the State 8 was charged agaist plaintiil. Lmmoral conduct and illegitimacy are not crimes, and as to the tenant keeping a bad house, as alleged, there wus no claim for special damages in the complaint under that head. The complaint was accordingly dismissed, with $150 al- Jowance to defendant, SUMMARY OF LAW CAs Tn a suit brought by the Metroplitan Gas Light Com- Puny against the Mayor, to recover $450 tor work done by the company in connection with certain repairs to sewers in Forty-eighih and other streets, Chic!

They were bappy be- cause tho {reo baths bad arrived and the time for bath- ing and swimming was at hand. To the street Arab or gumio of low degree this is an event of moro tran- scendant importance than tho rise or full of empires and ‘states, and 16 accordingly hailed with toud and boister- ous tokens of appreciation, To get a bath for nothing and to have tho extra privilege of staying in it all day long, or at least taking six baths in succession—tho priviloge of being a repeater without any fear of con- soquencos—is doar and delightful to his soul. RISKY KIND OF FREE BATHING, Of course he can have a free bath tn another way by boluly disrobing bimself before the public eye and plunging off the most convenient pier; but his heart is never easy when he takes theso risks.
