Petition by Edward C. Akin, attorney general, for mandamus to James A. Rose, secretary of state. Mandamus awarded.Edward C. Akin, Atty. Gen., for the People.

PHILLIPS, C. J.

This is a petition by the people, on the relation of the attorney general, for a writ of mandamus. The allegations of the petition, so far as necessary to be stated here, are, in substance, that a certain bill, known as Senate Bill 369,’ to amend certain sections of the law relating to loan associations, was passed in a constitutional manner by both houses of the Fortieth general assembly of Illinois, and enrolled June 10, 1897, by the engrossing and enrolling clerk of the said general assembly, which general assembly adjourned sine die on Friday, June 4, 1897; that the bill so passed and engrossed was thereafter, before June 15, 1897, duly signed by W. A. Northcott, president of the senate, and by Ed. C.

The petition prays that the secretary of state be required by the writ of mandamus to file the said bill in his office and authenticate the same, and include it in the list of Session Laws of the Fortieth General Assembly now being prepared by said secretary for publication.
