PAYMENT FOR SERVING TAX NOTICES.
Before Chief Justice Daily.
Some SIX months ago. on the application OF
william F. MacNamara, the Court OF Common Pleas,
Special Term, granted mandamus to the Super
vlsors and Comptroller Tor audit aud payment Of
the Claims OF Patrick II. Stewart and others,
amounting to sl,659, for serving tax notices In
1870. Motion was made before Cniei Justice DAILY
yesterday by Corporation Counsel Dean, on behalf
ofthe Mayor. &C., for relief. Counsel submitted an
andavlt stating that, whereas the order
to show cause was for mandamus
or the usual iorm to audit and allow
the claims amounting to so much. the
amount actually issued commanded the Supervt.
sors to audit and allow 'at $237 each, amounting
to s1G5Q," thus taking away the discretion vested
in the Board by statute. On this state OF lacts
Mr.. Dean asked tnal the mandamus be set aside
and new one In modified form be substituted, or
that the parties be lett to their suit at law under
the Consolidation act Ia reply Mr.. Richard
O'Gorman argued that this was peculiar case !;
Judgment went by DEFAULT The facts and the
amounts were admitted because not denied and
were adjudcated upon by the Court, which ac-
cordngy directed payment at the admitted
figures. The Chief Justice said he saw some difi-
Guilty in the discretion OF the Board being taken
