MAYOR ET AL. VS. LEVERICH ET AL. - Two Cases.
    
    APPEAL PROM THE COURT OP THE PIRSr JUDICIAL DISTRICT, JUDGE BUCHANAN PRESIDING.
    Front proprietors of lots cannot prevent the sovereign authority of the state from alienating the vacant space in their front, designated as a public place, or quai, when the public interest requires it; their rights are subordinate.
    These cases depend on the same facts, and are decided on the same principles, involved in the case of the Mayor et al. vs. Hopkins et al., ante 326.
    The defendants are appellants from two judgments, depriving them of their defence as front proprietors, and requiring them to pay certain notes.
    
      Canon, for plaintiffs.
    
      Preston, for the appellants.
   Eustis, J.

In these cases, the defendants, W. E. & J. H. Leverich, are the purchasers, and Hopkins is the endorser of the notes; with this exception, the facts in these cases are the same as those in which an opinion has been given.

The judgments of the District Court, are, therefore, affirmed, with costs in both courts.
