In the Supreme Court, to-day, Levy s
Chatfeld served anotiee Of motion upon the
Mayor and Comptroller, that he will apply
for an Injunction TO restrain them from pay
ing any Of the bills for the Japanese reeep-
tion. The plaintiff alleges that the Com
mittee on reception and mombers oi the
Common Council sold tickets for the ball
from $40 10 Sl0O-the proceeds Of which they
pocketed. That it was agreed before the bill
Of the Messrs. Leland was allowed that they
should pay to the members Of the Common
Council SiS per cent, and that the Common
Council have no right 10 expend large sums
to entertain guests or TO make any arrange
ment to carry out the fraudulent agreement
above set forth.
In a fight in tenement house in Avenue
B, last night, Louis Dardis was so Jadly in
iured that he cannot survive.
In the Supreme Court chambers this morning,
Justice Ingrnham rendered very important de
eision in the West Washington Market case
granting the motion of the Comptroller and Cor
DOratiOm Counsel TO set aside iae Judgments OBJ
tained BY Taylor aud Brennan against the city
lor back rents of the Washington Market prop
erty. The effect Of the decision is to restore the
property 10 the possession Of the city, and allow
the CORPORATION % defend anew the suits ON which
judgments 70 the amount of S0O0,0 600 were Oh.
tanned. Taylor and Brennan can, however, amend
the complaint, which they probably will do, by
claiming back rent Tor an additional number Of
