Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Petition of Ellen S. Auchmuty to Vacate an Assessment.
Where an order of Special Term, vacating an assessment for a local improvement, is reversed by the General Term on the ground that the assessment should be reduced not vacated, and the case is remitted to the Special Term, that the assessment may be modified in conformity ■with the principles laid down by the General Term, the order of General Term is not a final order; and so is not re viewable here.
