SAYRE, J.

This court concurs in the ruling of the Court of Appeals to the effect ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‍that if defendant belonged to one of the exempt classes mentioned in the act of 1927 (Acts 1927, p. 34), that was defensive matter to be proved by ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‍him. But this court does not agree that such defense was necessary to be set up by spe-cial plea. However, the writ applied for will not be granted on ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‍that account for the reason that the Court of Appeals appears to have given due consideration to that defense, nor can this court, on consideration of the opinion ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‍of the Court of Appeals, say that the court erred in its judgment — that being a question of fact depending upon tbe evidence which this court is ‍‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​‍not in a position to review.
