Humphrey & Davie, for complainant. Henry L. Stone. for defendant. Before HARLAN, Circuit Justice, and TAFT and LURTON, Circuit Judges. TAFT, Circuit Judge. The bill filed hereIn presents the same questions as those already considered In the case of Bank v. Stone, 88 Fed. 383; but It relates to the taxes for 1893--94, which were certified down by the state board of valuation and assessment to the city of Louisville for collection. We do not think that the questions differ In any respect from those already considered, and must therefore hold that the city of Louisville Is estopped by the former judgment between the bank of Kentucky and It, In which It was held by the court of appeals of Kentucky that the Bank ot Kentucky had an Irrevocable contract under the Hewitt act (Act Ky. May 17, 1886) for the exemption of the property and franchise of the Bank of Kentucky from any other taxation than as therein Imposed; and therefore that the bank Ifl entitled to the preliminary Injunction against the collection by the city of Louisville and its agents of the taxes provided In the revenue act of November, 1892. The demurrer to the bill fa overruled, and the motion tor an Injunction granted.

Jullan, for city of Frankfort. James H. Polsgrove, for county of Franklin. Before HARLAN, Circuit Justice, and TAFT and LURTON, Circuit Judges. TAFT, Circuit Judge. In an Injunction suit brought by the Deposit Bank of Frankfort against the county of Franklin, In the Franklin circuit court, to prevent the collection of any taxes Under the revenue act of 1892 In excess of those Imposed by the Hewitt act (Act Ky. May 17, 1886), it was adjudged on appeal by the court of appeals that the bank had, by Its due acceptance of the terms of the Hewitt act, an Irrevocable CQntract of exemption from taxation In excess of that imposed In the Hewitt act, and that the revenue act of 1892 violated this contract. In a similar injunction suit brought by the bank against the city of I!'rankfort, a decree In all respects similar was entered on the same ground. In accordance with our decision In the case of Bank of Kentucky v. Stone (just decided) 88 Fed. 883, we must therefore grant the motion for a preliminary injunction, and overrule the demurrer to the bill. THE FAVORITE.. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
