delivered the opinion of the court.

Since chapter 214 of the Acts of 1910 contains no language which discloses either an express or implied intention on the part of the legislature that it should have a retrospective effect, and since we must decline to overrule the case of Howie v. Alford, 100 Miss. 485, 56 So. 798, the decree of the court below must be, and is, affirmed.

Affirmed.
