THE MADISON-AVE. BAPTIST CHURCH CONTEST.
10 the EdttOr Of The tribune.
SIR: In the paragraph relating to the case
OF the Madisonave Baptist Church against the Baptist
Church in Oliverst. in THE TRIBUNE OF this date,
error occurs stating that the decision just rendered
by Judge sedgwick Of the defendant instead
Of the plaintiff. The general interest which this case
has excited will perhaps Justify few words in explain
alton Of the decision The action brought to
possession of the church property. The deed under
which the defendants claimed held void by the
Court Of Appeals. The then came back for trial
before Judge Sedgwick upon the other deenses namely
that the defendants mortgages IN possession under
certain mortgages which they had purchased. The
cent decision holds that these MORTGAGES constitute
bar 70 the plaintiffs recovery Of the church property
but that the defendants are merely entitled upon the
delivery Of possession TO be repaid the amount advanced
by the mortgages and for any other debts OF
the plaintiffs paid by them; while the defendants are
chargeable with the profits OF the use and Occu
ton OF the properly during their possession. refer
ence therefore directed 20 ascertain the amount OF
these claims, in order that the plaintiffs be
adiudged have possession upon payment OF the
balance any found due from them. IL is but just
10 state that the plaintiffs have disputed the
night the defendants 10 be reimbursed for the mortgages
peaedy offered during the litigation 10 enter into the
accounting with the defendants which the Justice has
now directed These offers have been always rejected
and the plaintiffs have been able 10 obtain state
ment Of the defendauts pCCunaTy claims. r. b.

A PAVEMENT CLAIM.

Judge Edmunds and A. r. Lawrence APP
Piled to Judge Davis, yesterday for mandamus to
compel the Controller pay $500 to George Gudet
the balance due on the contract to pave South Fifth
ave- and New Church-s given by Mr.. Van Mort 70 the
Guidet Pavement Company. Under tho statute OF 1872
the Controller directed TO raise the necessary funds
by assessment bonds The job TO cost 100000, Of
which 20 per cent was payable when the work COM
peted Only $4,000, however really paid and the
remainder is now sought through the courts. No pre-
tense was made I'm the argument that the work was not
done pr0pery but the Corporation Counsel insisted that
a mandanus would not issue where remedy could he
had by action Judge Davis expressed himself as rather
anxious 20 grant the mandanus our sdd he feared the
law was against it. He reserved his decision.
