The Tax Commissioner in 1870 imposed tax OF
s2s so on forty acres OF fifty acres or land
pied by the Female Academy OF the Sacred Heart,
near the loot OF 126th street, on the Hudson
River. As the tax was not paid the city
was about to proceed Tor non-payment, and
thereupon the institution, through John L. Devein
its counsel applied or an injunction to restrain
the city from the sale. A demurrer was made ana
an argument was had yesterday. Mr. Develin
made lengthy and lorcible argument,
setting forth the reasons why the lnjunc-
ti0n should be granted. He stated that
tins is OF the most useful and efficient schools
In the city, having some three hundred resident
pupils and five hundred day scholars. good
share OF the grounds Is taken up with the build
ngs and kitchen garden; the rest is no more than
is required by tho pupils for their daily walks and
exercise. Un the other side 1t Is claimed that the
plaintiffs took the wrong course, and neglected the
remedy open to them under the statute OF 1859,
and ought to have brought suit against tue Com
