Where a defendant has been convicted of a misdemeanor in justice’s court and no appeal has been had, and the time for an appeal has expired, he may challenge the constitutionality of the statute under which he was convicted in an application to this court for a writ of habeas corpus.</p> <p>2. -Pedler’s License Act Unconstitutional. Chapter 271, Laws of 1901 (Gen. Stat. 1901, §§3922-3929), so far as it exacts the payment of a license-tax by non-residents, from which certain residents of the state are exempted by the fact of their residence, is repugnant to the provision of the federal constitution that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.</p>
