ciety authorized by the State, said Gen.

its passage, and some of the annual meet
ings of these societies did not take place
| for some time afterward, and some will

but appealed to a higher Court without {
hearing, claiming that he had applied fol
a certificate, but that the Society has moi
had its annual meeting.
