1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Carter

Defendant in error, Herbert Nicholson, began an action September 2, 1909, against the plaintiff in error, Bernhard Loeff, as surety on an appeal bond. After a trial in the municipal court judgment was entered against plaintiff in error April 30, 1910. This writ of error is sued out on the ground that section 62 of the Municipal Court act is unconstitutional.

Plaintiff in error argues that the provision of said section which permits abbreviated forms of entries of orders is unconstitutional and void, being in contravention of section 18 of the schedule of the constitution of 1870.
