case of Nathan Myrick against Daniel L. Braw-
ley ct al. TO the effect that the plaintiff is not
entitled to any relief, and that the defendants,
La MOin and Booker, are entitled to judgment
and for their costs and disbursements. The
case depended upon the discussion of legal
points not of very general interest. Certain
parties were granted by the legislature the
privilege of establishing and running a ferry

the ferry the privilege was taken away by a
repeating act of the legislature. The point
made by the plaintiff was that the repeal was
unconstitutional, but the court holds other
wise.
