The Superior Court of New York City December 1, 1879 (Strusburgh v. Mayor of New York)

By the Court.—Freedman, J.

The specific reason for which the plaintiff in his complaint claims that the assessment, as made, is illegal and void, do not negative the jurisdiction of the assessor to assess plaintiff’ s property for a proper proportion of the expense of the improvement. On the contrary, their jurisdiction is impliedly admitted.
