Syllabus

<p>An information being filed against Royall for practising as a lawyer without having first obtained -a revenue license, he pleaded 'payment o'f the license fee partly in a coupon cut from a bond issued by the State of Virginia under the provisions of the act of March 30, Í871, and partly in cash. The Commonwealth demurred to this plea. Held: that the demurrer admitted that the coupon was genuine and bore on its face the contract of the state to receive it in payment of taxes, &c„ anti that this showed a good tender and brought the case within the ruling in Royall v. Virginia, 116 U. S. 672.</p>
