BurKet, C. J., Spear, Davis, Si-iaucK, Prioe and Crew, JJ-, concur.Section 4364-9, Kevised Statutes, imposed a tax on the business of trafficking in any intoxicating liquors, and also on the business of trafficking in spirituous, vinous or malt liquors.

Brewster, 44 Ohio St., 576, 581. Tire petition therefore states facts sufficient to warrant the relief prayed for, and the demurrer is overruled and a iier-emptory writ’ of mandamus is awarded as prayed.
