Syllabus

<p>1. An act entitled, “An act to provide a local option law for the incorporated cities, towns and villages of this State” (17 Stat. 893), declared in its fourth section, that the act should not apply to any city, town or village in which the sale of liquors is now, or shall hereafter be, prohibited by legislative enactment. Held, that the act related to but one subject — local option— which was expressed in its title.</p> <p>■2. An act to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors in the town of Chester (17 Stat. 1059), does not violate article L, section 12, of the constitution, which declares that “no person shall be subjected in law to any other restraints or disqualifications, in regard to any personal rights, than such as are laid upon others under like circumstances.”</p>
