In substance was that the provision, of the consti tution Which limited: the acta of ' the Legislature in extra session to such matters as were recommended to it by the Governor should be given a rea sonable construction. It upheld the contention, of the' prosecution that the provision referred . to the Legislature as a - whole and not to : the Assembly as an independent body. "So construed," said . Judge Cullen," "these .subjects attest to what the Legislature, as a body can do, and not to the power Vested in one branch' of the Legislature.."..
