1Opinion of the CourtHolt, J.
W. J. Gandy has been convicted of violating an ordinance enacted by the Board of Supervisors of Elizabeth City county which imposed a tax upon those doing business there. Upon a writ of error that judgment now comes under review.
This ordinance was first adopted on December 6, 1939, and later, on December 22, 1939, it was amended and readopted. Before it could go into effect its approval by the judge of the circuit court was necessary. It was approved by him on the 14th day of March, 1940, but by a nunc pro tunc order of that date it was made to take effect as of February 27, 1940.
