Opinion of the Court

Reads, J.

The Constitution provides that “the General ‘Assembly may tax trades, professions, &c.” Art. Y. § 3. The General Assembly has authorized the Town of Golds-boro “to lay and collect a monthly tax on lawyers, physicians-&e.,” Private Laws, 1866.

The defendants are lawyers and physicians in the Town of Goldsboro, and the Town has laid a tax upon'them which they refuse to pay. This would seem 'to make a clear case against the defendants.

There is no error.
