Judgment affirmed for the reasons stated in the opinion of Pugh, Judge, (3 Nisi Prius Rep. 152), and the further reason that, in the opinion of this court, the Hard law requires the charge under it to be based upon the proportion cf the authorized capital stock represented by property owned and used in Ohio. All the property of this company being within Ohio, and its authorized capital stock being $5,000,000, the secretary of state was right in fixing the fee at $5,000.
