The case originated in the Colum-

Reynolds and others filed a petition
TO restrain Arkie Harrington and f.
N, knight from taking up their stock,
The act provides that when 20 per
cent of the qualified voters in three
or more townships in any county peu-
ton for vote on the question OF
restraining stock from running at
large the County Court shall order an
election. Six townships in Columbia
county in August, 1916, voted in taypr

In attempting to enforce the law
IN Magnolia township, Columbia ooun-
,C, proceedings were instituted in
Chapcery Court to restrain the
o'iicials from enforcing the act. The
lower court dismissed the petition.
In the appeal to the Supreme Court
Il is contended that the act is invalid
because OF irregularities in the en-
crossing and enrolling OF House Bill
No. 9S. which is Act No. 1856. II is al
legged that the bill was amended IN
the House by the exemption OF sew
eral counties, and that It was again
amended in the Senate. After being
returned to the House it was further
amended by adding other counties to
- provisions.
1t is agreed by both parties to the
suit that the original bill, as intro
duced, does not appear in any OF the
records of the House or Senate now
preserved. and is not on file in the Of

that in the engrossed bill the word
