Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>1. where a license levied under a parish ordinance, which was passed without the observance o£ some legal requirements, has' been voluntarily paid, it can be recovered back on the ground o£ error only under exceptional circumstances. (Milita fieri prohibentur quae si facta fierrnt obtinent firmitatem.)</p> <p>2. The fact that the State has fixed State licenses for pursuing occupations for six months at one-half of that for pursuing them for one year, does not carry with it the obligation on the part of the Police Jury to follow the same rule in fixing the parish licenses to be paid by dealers in distilled, alcoholic or malt liquors.</p>
