     4    b. The court of city-wide civil jurisdiction of the city of  New  York
     5  shall  have  jurisdiction  over  the  following  classes  of actions and
     6  proceedings which shall be  originated  in  such  court  in  the  manner
     7  provided  by  law:  actions  and  proceedings for the recovery of money,
     8  actions and proceedings for the recovery of  chattels  and  actions  and
     9  proceedings for the foreclosure of mechanics liens and liens on personal
    10  property  where  the  amount  sought to be recovered or the value of the
    11  property does not exceed [twenty-five] fifty thousand dollars  exclusive
