for them in the amendment to the Tax Law.
In the House of Mobiles, the bill was objected
to on this account. and 4 long debate ensued
thereupon. wherein the general expression aP-

Judiciary, 70 whom appeals are made, should be
a separate and distinct po'rer from ererV other. and
that no provision should he made in the laws au-
thorizing their appointment to act s. Executive
