1Opinion of the Court
Per Curiam,
The question presented by the case stated is whether the act of April 2,1868, P. L. 3, was repealed by the act of May 23, 1893, P. L. 117, so far as relates to the fees of aldermen, justices of the peace and constables elected or appointed in Luzerne county, subsequent to the passage of the last mentioned act.

For reasons given in his opinion we are satisfied there was no error in so doing, and the judgment is therefore affirmed.
