Such an opinion is very generally cater
tanned by the profession and the people.
A number OF cases. under this law were
in the hands Of the Prosecutor al tie late
Court of Common Pleas, bat were held
off In consequence of this decision. The
points upon which the decision is made.
are in the local character given the Jaw.
by the contingency OF its being adopted
or rejected by the voters of the several
townships. and the violation Of tia I
provision of the Constitution. which
says--"No law shall be passed. The TAX
