Head Matter:
Estes et al. v. Jones.

Opinion:
Head, Justice.
1. Allegations that an act of the General Assembly is "inconsistent" with quoted provisions of the Constitution, that a stated Code section is "inconsistent" with stated constitutional provisions, and that such Code section "is a nullity," present no question for judicial determination, since they fail to point out wherein the act or the Code section is inconsistent with the constitutional provisions, or wherein the Code section is invalid.
