THOSE ISJUNCrION SUITS.
The Travail OVer-RequIescat In
Pace.
Supreme Court Opinion.

1t will be remembered that in 1871
our city council undertook to :nacad-
annie, curb and gutter portion of
Commercial street, and to build side
walks on various other streets. At
different times, ranging from Oct, 8,
1871, to January Il, 1872, five suits
were brought, one enjOIning the city
from making the levy, and the other
4 restraining the county treasurer and
county clerk from collecting the tax
for the improvement and from enter
ing up penalty for the non-payment
OF the faxes. Three of the cases were
tried when Peyton and Gillett were
city attorneys, and Judge Watson was
on the bench, and the Iniunctions
made perpetual, because the record did
not show that the city engineer had
made an estimate of the costs of such
improvements. Judge Buck becOm-
ing city attorney, took two of the
cases 10 the supreme court and pro-
cured the reversal of one, on the
ground that the city was a necessary
party, and the other because the judge
erred in holding that the fact of max
ing the:estimate and what il was, could
not be shown by parOl. Thereafter the
several plaintiffs amended their petit
lions, making the city party. Judge
Peyton having been OF counsel,
these five cases went, by change
of venue, to Chase county. Under
Judge Bucks administration, the city,
in August, 1872, relieved those assess
menls. On the trial of the cases before
Judge Brown, he found as fact
that no estimate had ever been made
10y the city engineer, and rendered
Judgment making the iuiunctions per-
tpetnal. The city took one of the cases
to the supreme court, the opinion of
which Is published below. The names

Once thou thought that none excelrd thee,
When thou went and Joined the church,
But for good reasons they expelled thee
