1Opinion of the Court
Scott, J.:
There is no question in this case as to the jurisdiction of the board of assessors or of the regularity of their proceedings. We are, therefore, of the opinion, for the reasons stated in People ex rel. Olin v. Hennessy (150 App. Div. 190), decided herewith, that we are without power to review the determination.

The writ must, therefore, be dismissed, with fifty dollars costs and disbursements to the respondents.
