way downward from the roof, as the scuttle WAS
found forced open later in the evening It may be,
however, that they only escaped this way. The
burglars descended from the top moor to the third,
where there are several bedrooms and went
through them, appropriating everything they could
find on their way They happened to be
very fortunate, as the family OF which only small
portion was at home, was In the basement at the
time, and, singularly enough, the rooms were Left
alone and solitary all this time. No doubt, finding
themselves unmolcsted, they descended one fooV

THE BOULEVARD AND UPTOWN
ROADS AND AVENUES.
Judge Lconard's Decision.

Several weeks ago Mr.. Van Mort, Commissioner
OF Public Works, applied before Judge Leonard, OF
the Supreme Court, for q mandamus against the
Comptroller, directing the latter to deposit
s4,479 10 in the Chemical National Bank as payment
OF Mr.. MeCauley for broken stone furnished for the
Boulevard and the Seventh avenue extension
above 10th street. In reporting the argument
which issued the facts Of the case were fully pub
shed in the HERALD, and for this reason do not
require extended repetition. This was brought
forward as test case, there being several other
claims OF kindred character, and all depending
OF course, upon the decision In this case.
The fact Is that since the transfer OF the Boulevard,
roads and avenues north OF Fifty-ninth street
from the control OF the Department OF Parks to the
Department Of Public Works no payments have
been made by the Comptroller for material and
lists furnished, the ground being that the act
directing the transfer was unconstitutional. Pay
even OF the engineers, clerks and assistants has
been withheld for three months, the laborers only
being regularly paid This state OF facts led TO the
application for the mapdamus In question. Yester-
day Judge Leonard rendered his decision in the
case, which we give In full below and from which
