Submitted October 17, 1887. Decided November 14, 1887. Rehearing refused January 9, 1888. A petition for a rehearing of a case decided by a divided court is denied on the ground that no important constitutional question is involved. • These cases, which were all submitted together, were all affirmed by a divided court on the 14th day of November, 1887. The plaintiff in error petitioned for a rehearing, citing Home Ins. Co. v. New York, 119 U. S. 129. 3ír. N. G. Blanchard and Mr. T. Alexander for plaintiff in error and for petitioner. Mr. A. H. Leonard for defendant in error on the submission of the cases. [MAJORITY — Mr. Chief Justice Waite] Mr. Chief Justice Waite delivered the opinion of the court. These petitions are denied.
