The court gave judgment in favor of the plaintiffs.\nPending the appeal by the defendants the General Assembly of 1917 has passed House Bill 919, Senate Bill 1305, to authorize Duplin County to issue bonds to build fences around said county and said territories therein, provided that a bond issue for $100,000 for said purpose shall be ratified by a vot\u00e9 of the people, and repealing chapter 512, Laws 1915, under which this proceeding was instituted.\nThe -defendants\u2019 counsel present the certified copy of said act and move that this proceeding be abated. The motion must be allowed, Wikel v. Comrs., 120 N. C., 451, and in accordance with the ruling therein, \u201cthe judgment for costs below is affirmed, and each party will pay his own costs in this Court, as the repealing statute was enacted before judgment here.\u201d To the same \u25a0 effect, Herring v.
