was contended that This exemption was only
held by ns, subject 10 right of repeal, by
any subsequent Legislature, in conformity
with The provisions of an act passed In the
year ls4l, and which right the Legislature ex.
ercieed In the year 1863. We have the above
Information by telegraph, the DEGREES of the
court having only been delivered on the 3lst
