Per Curiam,

This case is ruled against the defendant by Com. ex rel. ‍‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‍v. Samuels et al., [163 Pa. 283,] in-which an opinion by our Brother Mitchell was filed on July 12th, last, holding that, by reason ‍‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‍of its defective, title, the act of June 8, 1893, P. L. 393, under which defendant in this case claims title, was unconstitutional.

While the ‍‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‍defendant, by taking this appeal, has availed himself of a re-argument of the constitutional question disposed of in the case above cited, we are ‍‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‍very far from seeing our way clear to do anything else than adhere to the principle announced in that case. It therefore follows that ‍‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‍there is no error in the judgment of the court below.

Judgment affirmed.
