[1.] Three of the Justices of the Inferior Court of Terrell county, met at chambers, August, 1858; and amongst other things, assessed a tax of two hundred per cent, on the State tax, for “Public Buildings.” Its collection is resisted by a bill for an injunction, by a portion of the tax payers of Terrell county, and the only questions which we deem it necessary to decide are: 1st.
