Opinion of the Court

Caton, C. J.

The assessments in these cases, were in part for improvements already executed by parties other than the city, and without any liability on the part of the city. The assessments were therefore illegal, and it was the duty of the court to refuse to render judgments for them. Pease v. City of Chicago, 21 Ill. R. 500.

The judgments in the two first cases are reversed, and in the last the judgment is affirmed.
