A STREET CLEANERS CONTRACT.
Motion to Punish the Board Of Audit
for Csntempt-Win Have the Whole or

Motion to Punish the Board Of Audit
for Csntempt-Wtn Have the Whole or
Mono OF His Claim.
Mr.. Charles Guidet was the fortunate, or rather
unfortunate individual, as the case looks now, who
got the contract for cleaning West street. The
amount Of his bill was s31, 900, but the Board Of
Audit, according to his views Of prompt business
despatch, was too dilatory In passing upon his
claim. Wearied Of waiting its movements he some
time since, through Mr.. West, his counsel, applied
at Supreme Court, Chambers, for writ Of peremp-
tory mandamus, requiring 1t to audit his bill. It
seems that the writ was disregarded, and accord
Davis holding Supreme Court Chambers, to punish
the Board for contempt, in thus disregarding the
mandate OF the Court.
Mr. Strahan, who appeared on behalf Of the
Board submitted return to the writ, stating that
the Board had audited the bill.
Mr.. West insisted that this return came In too
late in the day.
Judge Davis 10 Mr.. west)-You ought to be
satisfied your bill has been audited,
Mr.. West-I am not satisfied at all.
Judge Davis-Why notp
Mr.. West-At the amount
Judge Davis-What Is the amount a0wedf
Mr.. West-Only $4,000, ana we demand $31, 900.
Judge Davis-Tney have only turned the figures
around. Qaughterl
Quite prolonged discussion ensued upon fur.
Their motion to compel the Board to audit the bill
for the full amount claimed. At the close of the
argument the Judge took the papers, promising to
give his decision in q day or two.

ants the sum OF $1,000 1t appeared that on the 22d
OF December, 1872, the plaintiff effected policy OF
insurance with the defendants for $1,000 on his
machinery. On the 2sth OF March following q fire
occurred on the premises In which the plaintiff
carried on the manufacturing OF electrical
engines, and injured what 1t did not entirely
destroy the property insured. TO recover the
value OF this property destroyed and injured the
plaintiff brought suit. The defence was that the
policy only covered certain articles enumerated,
ana not all tie property In the factory Chief JUS
tce Shea held, In charging the jury, that the
meaning Of the policy covered Az the machinery In
the premises whether used In the construction OF
machinery for the factory or for sale but not the
material used In the construction OF any machines.
The jury rendered verdict for plaintiff for $500,

On several occasions applications have been
made to the Judges OF the Marine Court TO- q iers
to effect substitute OF service Of process under
the act OF 1883 Yesterday similar application was
made TO Judge Shea while presiding at Trial Term.
The Judge declined to grant the order, on the
ground that the act Of 1858 did not apply TO the
Marine Court, nor to any other Court except the
Supreme Court OF the State. and held that tudg.
ment entered upon such constructive service would
be void and OF no effect.

seat on the bench, and all who were able to gain
admittance had already passed the guards In the
passage way and at the doors, which, later In the
day, were. by orders Of the Court, more strictly
guarded, so that the court room during the day was

the case singlehanded against prisoners counsel
consisting Of Messrs Beach, Howe, Mitchell and

IN custody OF Sherin BrenAan's deputies. Near him
sat his wife, mother and sister and some other
relatives. The prisoner looked ike one who had
really begun and for the FIRST time. to realize the
peril in which he stood By his dread violation OF
the law, which, however 1t may be at times
svadsd, yet exacts the penalty OF life for life

Moynahan vs. Hughes.-In the Spring OF last yeai
the plaintiff sublet to the defendant part OF stand
and cellar IN Fulton market which he rented from
the city, and it being subsequently vacated by the
defendant without payment Of rent, this suit was
instituted to recover for seven months tenancy.
The main defence was that the plaintIn neglected
to stop up leak to which his attention was called,
and that therefore the defendant gave up the
premises as untenantable. But this the Court dis
allowed, holding that the case before II did not
come within the statute. The only other defence
lay in an attempt to reduce the term Of tenancy,
which, together with counter claim for lager beer
was submitted to the jury Verdict in favor OF
plaintiff for full amount claimed.

CLOSE OF MR. o'coNoRs SUMMING UP FOR TIE DE.
PENDANT
Mr.. O'Conor said in the remarks he had made to
the jury on Friday he had closed what he might
call the rst chapter Of this case and the relation
OF the parties to the estate In question. He was
not there to ask any deviation from the law; but
natural justice social equity and the affections Of
the heart demanded that these things should
have weight In the consideration OF the jury. He
had argued that this case had been instituted for
vexation. oppression and delay, and for the pur-
pose OF forcing the defendant to settlement. All
this property was acquired BY stephen Jumel, in
fee, in 1914, and purchased BY his own money. The
learned gentleman referred to the deeds by which
the property was conveyed by Mr.. Jumel to Mary
Jumel He explained the contents OF the various
deeds, the trusts created under them, and said
Jumel, by deed OF appointments. Mary Jumel had the
confidence OF Madame Jumel, and Madame had the
confidence Of Mary. whom she loved dearly. No
deed was produced conveying the nnety-four acre
unproductiye lot to Mary Jumel, or to or for the
benefit OF Madame Jumel; but there was the evi-
dence Of John Caryl to the effect that in 1928, MI
Jumel told him all the property was to go to Mary
after his DEATH he having q life use OF 1t. Mr.
Jumel insisted on having the deeds put in proper
and legal manner, and this was done by Chancellor
Kent, one OF the greatest law authorities
that ever lived In this country. II Madame
Jumel were inclined to do anything wrong with
the property, 1t was emnently proper that Mr..
Jumel should have IL so placed by explicit deeds,
understanding. In ls46 and 1851, while soundness
and sanity remained in Madame she left by will
the bulk OF the property to the chi.dren OF Mary
the Jury to say that Madame Jume had no legal in
terest IN the lands which were descendablc to her
heirs. counsel on the other side had asked them
70 admit that the plaintiff was the son and heir Of
Madame Jumel, and then call upon him to carry
Gus she trusts under those deeds. The ia
