Opinion of the Court

Curta, per O’Neall, C. J.

It is sufficient in this case to say, that the relators, inhabitants of the city, are amenable to the city authorities for offences against the city ordinances.

They have been tried in conformity thereto, and we cannot interfere.

For offences against the 'laws of the State, they are to be tried according to the Acts of the General Assembly.

The motion to reverse the decision below is dismissed.
