charter from the State, which contract
was and is, that having accepted the
charter, which gavo to it exclusive
control of the streets and sidewalks of
the city, and the power Of taxation, by
which the necessary means could be
raised, ii would faithfully perform its
primary and legal duty of keeping it's

negligence in the performance OF its
primary duty.
Fifth, Because it practically deprives
the plaintiffs of their property without
due process Of law, by taking away
from them all right of action. Since
by the statute no recovery can be had
against the city, no matter how negli ..
gent it may have been in the care Of
the sidewalk-and no recovery can be
had against the adjacent property
owner for not repaving the sidewalk,
because he owes no such duty to the
traveller and can only be held liable
for his own negligence in creating the
defect or obstruction.
The Legislature has no right to de-
prive the plaintiffs Of this vested right
by any subsequent statute, exempting
the city from all liability.
