nEMEnY TITS AEUSE 1T ONCE.

The Manhattan hallway Company has been
singularly favored in the character and form OF
legislative enactmcnts calculated 10 assist or
protect It in It's offensive or defensive litiSl-
lions in the courts Now at last measure has
been brought before the Legislature that IS not
in the interest Of that corporation. and the pas
sage of which is being actively opposed by lis
agents II is, however in the public interest,
and. II enacted. will do away with IN abuse or
the machinery Of the courts, which under the
present law the Judges are powcrless 10 pre-
vent.
In the year 1876 there crcpt into the General
Railroad act Of 1880 an amendment which per
mittcd the railroad company which sought To
obtain private property by condemnation pro-
cccdings and which was dissatisfied for any
reason with the commission appointed TO assess
the damages or with the decisions arrived AT
by such commissioners. arbitrarily 10 discon-
tinue its condemnation proceedings without the
consent OF the court or opposing parties. 1t
may have been Il mere coincldonc" tlat thlS
radical and indcfcnsiblc change in the law was
made at Just about the time that the Ncw-Nork
Elevated Railroad Company first found occa-
sion 10 acquire the property of private individ-
uals by condemnation proceedings; but, In any
case that amendment to the act OF 1890 and its
subsequent adoption into the later laws have
been availcd Of by the elevated railroad com
panics as fully and have proved rs scrviceablc
To them as II they had been drawn with no
other object In view than the furthcrancc of
their interests. Even the condemnation law OF
1890, which in many respects was an improve
mcnt upon the old laws, provides that within
thirty days after the entry Of the final order the
plaintiff may abandon the proceeding by filing
Il written notice of his determination to do So
and paying certain expenses.
1t is pretty safe TO say that these acts furnish
the only instances Of the Legislature Of any
civilized country permitting the plaintiff after
he has been beaten in his action upon the
merits to abandon 1t without the sanction of
the court But that Is what has frequently hap
pcned in the Manhattan Railway litigation in
this city. under the condemnation law. and al
though the Judges have repeatedly expressed
i'm the strongest terms their sense Of the injus-
ticc Of the company's course, they have been
powcrlcss to prevent 1t under the mandatory
form Of the law. But some recent cases have
been so fragrant in character as TO arouse the
Indignation of some Of the ablcst and most
eminent lawyers Of the town, and determina-
ton on their part to the law set right. The
bill drafted by them for that purpose was intro
duccd in the Senate by Mr.. Mcmahon and In the
Assembly by Mr. Lawson. This amendment
still permits the plaintiff at any stage Of the
proceeding and upon good cause shown to ap-
ply to the court upon notice, for leave to aban-
don the proceedings. But 1t vests In the court,
