MORRIS

v. MAYOR, ETC., OF CITY OF BAYONNE.

Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey.

Dec. 7, 1898.

(Syllabus by the Court.)

Error to supreme court.

Proceeding by the mayor and council of the city of Bayonne to assess benefits from construction of sewer. From a judgment affirming the assessment (38 Atl. 819), William L. Morris brings error. Affirmed.

George Putnam Smith, for plaintiff in error.

James Benny, for defendant in error.

GARRISON, J. This case is ruled by the decision of this court in Moian v. Jersey City, 58 N. J. Law, 653, 35 Atl. 950.

The matters argued before us by the plaintiff in error are, at bottom, questions of fact. The judgment rendered in the supreme court could be reversed only by reaching conclusions of fact variant from those found by that court. This, for the reasons given in the case cited, we are not at liberty to do.

The judgment of the supreme court is affirmed.
