Suit Against the City Comptr0lIer-Novei
Clnim-Opinion Of the Court.
The People e1 rel. Geerv and Others rs. Richard
B. Connolly, Comptroller. case, which involved
considerable amount Of money, came up on an
appeal taken by the Comptroller from an order Of
Judge Barnard, directing that mandamus issue to
compel the Comptroller to cancel certain assessments
upon the REALTORS property. The proceeding was
DTOugnt law vi 1905, TeiatlVc W
frauds IN assessments, and the order to vacaie upon
which the proceedings for mandan us are based, was
entered ON the so Of January, 1868.
1t was contended on the part or The Comptroller
that proofs o fraud or rregularity had ever been
taken, and that the orcer OF 1865 was absolutely
void, and no duty devolyed upon the Comptroller.
On the other hand IL was urged, nrst that the
verified petition and certified copy record IN similar
cases ior the same Improvement were sufficient
proof and second that no appeal lies in these pro-
ceedings to the General Term.
OPINION BY JUDGE CLERKE.
Formerly the judges were OF the opinion that these
proceedings were not appcaable but that opinion
had been Overruled and Tor n number Of years last
past appea.s have been allowed; that In the pro-
ceedings to vacae assessment the law required that
oral proof OF the fraud rre.uiarity complained OF
should be taken by the judge In each case that the
verified petition was not proof within The statute,
nor was the proof taken III one case available to
another petitioner seeking 10 vacate an assessment
upon hs property Tor the same improvement; that
each peuiioner must give proof of the frauds or
irregularities alleged hy him. The order vacating
the assessment was therefore improper ana should
not be enforced, and tae order of Special Term
granting the mandamus should be reversed.
