SUITS AGAINST THE CITY.

John B. Wood brought suit soma time ago
against the city for ST. 1888 49, rent Of No. $40 Sixth
avenue, for May and June, 1871, the same being
occupied as an armory. The defence was that the
Board OF Supervisors had no authority to rent the
premises. A demurrer was made to this answer,
and there was a lengthy argument on the same
yesterday before Judge Van Brunt holding Su-
preme Court Special Term. The demurrer was
based on the ground that the Board OF Su-
pervisors, under the act OF 1852 had no authority
to hire premises Tor use as an armory IN the
absence OF a demand bv the Colonel oil the reg-
ment tnat while act OF 1868 lett 1t dscre tiOnary
with the Board OF Supervisors TO hire such prem
ises, the act 1871 made 1t incumbent on the city
to pay rent In all cases where promises were
actually used as an armory. Judge Van Brunt
took the papers, reservlng his decision.
In August, 1853, Raphael Lewentnai kept store
In the basement OF No. 4Ss Eighth avenue Through
some imperiection In the sewer the place was over
moved, aud ne CANNED that his goods were dam.
aged to the amount OF $2oa2 Is. He brought SUIT
against the city for this sum- and the case came
TO trial before Judge Van Worst, holding supreme
Court Circuit, Part B. The result OF the trial.
which terminated yesterday, was verdict lot
$l,295 for the plaintiff.
