when the day for the continuance Of the examina-

himself exceedingly scarce m the future, and they

Judge Pratt yesterday morning rendered de-
casion confirming the report Of the Commissioners

was that the awards made to Mr.. Pope
were inadequate. There was no suggestion Of
fraud incompetency or Partially on the
part OF the Commissioners whose Judgments
on questions Of value could not properly be
overrued by the Court. The statute authorizing
this Improvement vested In the Commissioners the
discretion TO determine the amount Of
awards to be made, and so long as
no wrong principle was adopted In estimat-
ing the amount, their judgment was not
the subject OF review on motion to confirm the
report. mere error In judgment was not suf-
ncient, the Court held, to set aside the report.
This principle had long been settled and was
founded on reason. The afidavits failed to show
any error In law, and In accordance with uniform
line of decisions OF this Court Judge Pratt said he
could not nfere with the valuation as mace by the
Commissioners. The report was therefore con.
nrmed.
The awards amount In the aggregate to about
twenty-eght thousand dollars.
