ACTON C. HARTSHORNE, PLAINTIFF IN ERROR, v. THE BOROUGH OF AVON-BY-THE-SEA ET AL., DEFENDANTS IN ERROR.
    Submitted July 6, 1909
    Decided October 14, 1909.
    On error to the Supreme Court, whose opinion is reported in 46 Yroom 407.
    For the plaintiff in error, Acton O. Hartshorne and Alan H. Strong.
    
    For the defendants in error, George W. W. Porter.
    
   Per Curiam.

We agree with Mr. Justice Swayze, who delivered the opinion for the Supreme Court, that the act found in Pamph. L. 1874, p. 388, was repealed by the constitutional amendment of 1875 requiring properly to be assessed under general laws and by uniform rules, and that because of the same constitutional provision the act found in Pamph. L. 1904, p. 201, cannot revive the act of 1874.

This result renders immaterial the question discussed by the Supreme Court as to the construction of the act of 1874, and we therefore express no opinion upon it.

The judgment under review should be affirmed.

For affirmance — The Chancellor, Chief Justice, Reed, Trenchard, Parker, Bergen, Voorhees, Minturn, Bogert, Vredenburgh, Vroom, Gray, Dill, Congdon, JJ. 14.

For reversal — IsTone.
