1Opinion of the CourtMorse, J.
The prosecuting attorney for the county of ■St. Olair filed an information in the circuit court for that county to test the validity of Act No. 500 of the Local Laws of 1887, purporting to incorporate the city of Marine City, in said county.
The defendants are officers of said city, elected and holding public offices by virtue of said act.
The act is claimed to be void because it was not introduced in the Legislature until after the expiration of 50 days, and was not read but once in the lower house of the Legislature, and was not read three times, as the ■Constitution requires. ■
