1Opinion of the CourtPleasants, J.

There is no question of fact in this case. Appellant is organized under the general law and has six Aldermen. Appellees were prosecuted for selling intoxicating liquor in violation of a supposed ordinance which was declared to be adopted by the casting vote of the Mayor. The record of the proceedings of the City Council upon its passage shows that the Aldermen were all present and voted by yeas and nays — “Alderman Carmody, Clark and Lyon voting aye, .and Hazle, Sheedy and Johnson voting no,” and “ that this being a tie, Mayor Hassey voted aye and the ordinance was declared to be adopted.”
