to Be Null and VOid--A Test case
May be Made.
ATLANTA. Nov. 49,. "A startling sen
sation is being stirred up by some OF the
lawyers in Atlanta.
They claim that the Legislature now in
ses sion V as, when it first convened, an
illegal session, and' that all the work
done in the early part of the session is
null and void.
1t is said that two of the amendments
voted upon 1T the II cent state election
were not proposed in constitutional
manner. One of the amendments chang
I'd the sessions from biennial to annual
sessions, and the other fixed the length
of the sessions.
The attention of the Attorney G eneral
has been called to it and test case OF
some kind may be made.
If the first part of the legislative ses-
sion was illegal, then the governor has
not been inaugurated and the judges and
solicitors have not been elected. Under
these circumstances a case tried before
one of the judges will be null and void.
The matter presents very interesting
situation, and is being discussed with no
little interest by the lawyers off state
whose attention has been called to it.
