   Per Curiam.

We are of opinion that the act of 1880 "(chap. 269) regulates the review of assessments in towns, cities, and villages by certiorari and renders inapplicable to such cases the general provisions of the Code which were invoked by the petitioner. The order of the general term was therefore right, and should be affirmed, with costs.

All concur.
