LWV OI'lMOV4 I ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY and validity op: THK ACT OF 1855, ON THB SUBJECT OK FOREIGN

INSURACK COMPANIES. Indiixapolis, August 13, ISS5. Hon. J as. Moatlsoa and J. A. Listoh, Eis., Gkntmcmen: Wi II you Rive me your opinions oflhe con.U" tulioiialily nnit vnlUilty of Hie law, pna'i-d by our legislature during iu last session, relating to the uiBiiner lu which Foruigu Insurance Companies muy do business in this Mate, and also of the act which this professes to emend, pnsscd upon tho same subject Juno 17, 18j:i. Your attention is called, In connection with this, to an opinion of Jutlgu I). McDonald, in favor of the constitutionality of the act, apparently given at the request of Hon, H. K. J'albcslt, Auditor of State.. 1 have been doing business as agent for several foreign companies heretofore, and have no wish to evade the law. But this act appears to have been gotten up In a secret manner, for the I benefit of a few companies or individuals, who wish to monop- ' olise the business ami drive oui an lair competition, i he public seem to know very little about the matter. There is no protection to insurers by this act. The evidences which are furnished lha Auditor are not reliable, and the character of Ilia company may be entirel) changed, so Ihutatone day It may be g I and the next week unsound. It la a well know n fad thai the stock of one of the Insurance Companies who have complied with the act, wan sold at auction In New York, during this month, at 93 on the tllH). I should be glad to have your opinions upon the subject. Yours truly, W. W. ROBKKTS, Agent for Hartford Insurance Co., Home Insurance Co., of New York. Phieulx Insurance Co., of Hartford, Conn., and Western Massachusetts Insurance Company, Indianapolis, August IS, 1855. W. W. Roberts, F.so., Agent, ice, I proceed to comply with the request contained In your note addressed to J. A. Linton, Ksq., und myself, for an opinion upon tho constitutionality and vulidity of the law passed at the last session of (ho Legislature, concerning the Incorporation of Insurance Companies; and you have referred mo to an opinion by Judge McDonald, sustaining the law. Willi nil due respect lor Judge McDonald' opinions, 1 am forced to dissent from this one. There Is at least one objection to tho validity of the law In question, beside the ouo discussed in the opinion, quite as formidable, I think, us the question of the title. tint that buing iiulu rally Hrst in order will be Hrst examined. The constitutional provision buarfng on the point, la as follows: 'Evory act shall embrace but subject, and matters properly connected therewith, which subject shall be eipress id in the title; but If any subject shall be embraced in the act which chall not he expressed in the title, such act shall he void only ns to so much thereof as shall not 1)0 expressed In the tillo." (Const, art. IV, see. 111.) Tills clause was Introduced Into the Constitution to remedy a dangerous and common ovil in legislation; and the Legisluluru have no more rigid to disregard it, than any other constitutional restriction upon their powers. Our prusent Constitution having been not ycl four years in force, we have no authoritative adjudication upon litis cluuse, by our own courts. Hut lu Louisiana, wliuru they have a similar provision, laws have been held void for violating It. (Stale of Louisiana vs. lluckut. Louisiana Annual Reports, vol. 5, p. 91; and the heirs of Duvorge vs. Halter anil Marey, ib. 1)4.) Tho tltlo of the act umoiided, is "an act for the Incorporation of Insurance Compuuies, defining their powurs mid prescribing their duties," approved June I", 1H.VJ, (1st vol. II. H., jHj-J, p. Ml.) This act being the auh-strutum of the lalo act, will be first considered. 1 hold that the "subject" of tho act, ns expressed In the title. Is "(As incorporation of Insurance Companies." To say that "Insurance Companies" la the subject, would be to say that a part is equal to the wholo. Undoubtedly "Insurance 'Companies" is a part of the subject; and so Is "Companies," and so is "Incorporation;" but they nre all required to stand in the order in which they are found in tho title, to express"the subject." This, to my mind, required no argument to support It. Thore can bo but ono subject in any net, and matters propcrlv connected therewith; and the subject must be expressed in tiie title. Tho act In question conflicts with this provision. The incorporation or creation of domestic Insiiranco Companies under our Stale laws, is the one subject plainly Indicated and expressed in the title. Nothing more, nothing less. The condition upon which foreign insurance companies may do business in this Stale, is anotiicr and a distinct subject,und not properly connected therewith. And, if 1 am rigid in this, it follows'that the 50th section of tho net of IH,ri2, was null and void. That act, except tho .1(Hh section, relates exclusively to tho formation, powers and duties of domestic Insurance companies; wlille the 5th relutos as exclusively to the steps to be taken by foreign companies, to entitle them to grant insurance hero. That section has the special anil appropriate caption "Foreign liisurnnce Companies and their Agents." And the section conforms to the caption. It sets forth the things a foreign corporation shall do before proceeding to make contracts of insurance; -and declaring thnt any Insurance made by a foreign company without huving so complied, shall bo void. 1 think enough has been shown to prove the unconstitutionality of the 5(ith section of tho act of 8.ri2; and tho whole amendatory net of last winter Is, In fact, as It is In terms, an amendment of thnt one section. The title of the late act is, "An act to amend an act entitled an net for tho incorporation of Insurance Companies, defining their powers and prescribing tholr duties." Approved June 17, 18,'iJ. The Hrst section of the amendatory act declares that the 511th section of the act of 1852 shall be amended "so as to rend as follows," and that which follows Is the entire act of 1855, embracing nine long sections, proscribing what shall he dono by foreign insurance companies to entitle them to transact business in this State. If, then, the Stith section was a nullity, bocause it embraced a subject not expressed in the title of the act, it must necessarily follow, that the act of 1855 la void also, and for the same reason, if for no other. (.. If It should be nrguod thai the late net Is an independent nnd entire act, in Itself, I would reply, If it Is so, thon the titlo is a misnomer; because It does not expross the subject. 1 proeeed to stnte Another objection. Admitting thnt the requirements of the act are, in themselves, nil right nnd proper, as a protection against the influx of irresponsible foreign agencies among un, and tho frauds that are too often committed by corporations generally; there Is In it a rcmiirknblo feature, which, in my opinion, not only renders It null nnd void, but which calls for severe reprehension. This act is not yet in force; and the time In which tho "statement and evidences" which it requires, should havo boon filed with the Auditor of State, to-wit: tho 15th or April, 1855, is long past. The indispensable condition upon which foreign companies are permitted to contract in this Slate, is therefore, an impossible condition. "Acts of Parliament that nre impossible to be porformed, are of no validity; nnd if thore nrise out of them, collaterally, any absurd consequences, manifestly contradictory to common reason, they nre, with regard to these collateral consequdnces, void." 1 Blacks. Coin. p. 91. If the law were otherwise valid and now In forco, it would Inflict severe penalties for what was all the time since the 15th of April, nnd until now, innocent and lawful. It would bo, in effect, ex post facto. The act not yet boing In forco, it was. up to the present moment, lawful for foreign companies to do business in this State. But if the law be tint in force to-morrow. by virtue of the Governor's proclamation that the laws had been published in all the- connllos in the State, then this act would punish by fiuo and Imprisonment, nn agent who hud acted without the A editor's license, nfter the 15th April last. Thiswould be manifestly unjust and tyrannical; because. during all the intervening time, there was no law in force requiring or forbidding to be done. the thine complained of. An act of the legislature has no vitality till it is put in force in some ono of the modes required by the constitution. It must exist before it can be transgressed ; and is a dead letter till It is pub llshod. Till then, no one can know, legnlly, what are its requirements or its prohibitions. It may have been read at the office of the Secretary of State, or in a printed volume, or elsewhere, by those who, for selfish ends, engineered and smuggled it through the legislature; but nil that does not make it operative, nor authorize persons, ol even officers, to do acts under it. till nfter it has been published: nnd if acts have been done undur pretence of conforming to such a law, they are a void as the law itself. Foreign companies will be, perhaps, ere long, duly informed of the existence of this act; but they cannot comply with its requirements. They cannot, after such information, file wilh the Auditor the required statement and evidences, "on or before the 15th day of April. 1855." That Is nn impossible thing; and tiie act is, therefore, void. There are other objections to tho lnw than those stated, but H is considered unuccessury to notice them. Those companies who think they have complied, nnd have thereby swept the Held, may find themselves mistaken. They have a temporary advantage over the others In tho public mind; but if these views be correct, insurers with them have no additional security by reason of such compliance. If the law is void, the nzents are not bound to make any deposit wilh the Auditor; and their "statement and evidences" will go for what they are worth. Tho object of the procurers of this law seems plain enough. It was thnt ono of them, or a few of them, should monopolize the business of the State; and the 15lh day of April was thought to be nbout the timo the laws would be published. This "collateral" question the question of time was, however, miscalculated; and had the laws been published a day before the 15th April, it would have been "absurd" to require the statement and evidences to he procured and filed in a single day, though perhaps, lu the eye of the law, not "impossible." Why should tho 15th day of April, 1855, have been fixed as the time within which all foreign corporations should comply with the required conditions of the act? Why was not the reasonable provision Inserted, that until foreign companies should comply, they should not do business? lenving the matter open to nil. The answer is obvious. That would not have suited the monopolizers. But I think that in their eagerness taey have overshot the mark. If it be thought Hint in a lnw opinion these remarks are out of place, I must beg leave to think otherwise. When men, undur the guise of protecting the citizens of the Stnte against frauds and losses, perpetrnte frauds and nro guilty of such pretences, their devices should be exposed. " I am cridihly informed that the opinion referred to was obtained by Mr. Henderson, without the knowledge of the Auditor of Slate, nnd thnt the publication over the signature of that officer was made at the request of Mr. H., the Auditor having determined to obtain my opinion, as Attorney General, when the lnw should be in force. I do not, however, mention this to detract in the least from the consideration to which the opinion is o'herwiso entitled ; nor to claim for my own, any more consideration on that account. I am entirely satisfied that the act is Invalid ; and that, therefore, nil contracts of insurance by foreign companies, will be valid notwithstanding the act. Should you aet upon this opinion, yon of course run the risk of severe penalties, should it be erroneous. .- Very respectfully, J. MORRISON. Indianapolis, August 15, 1855. Jlfr. W. W Roberts: Dear Sir Your note is before me addressed to Judce Morrison nnd myself, requesting an opinion as to the constitutionality of an act of the last session of the Legislature, approved March 2, 1855, entitled "An aet to amend nn act entitled'1 "An act for tke Incorporation of Insurance Companies, defining their powers, and prescribing their duties," "Approved June 17, 1852." (See p. 137, acts of ia55.) In answering, I will in the first place refer to the original act, and its title. (See Rev. Statutes of 1853, p. 331, chapter 51.) "An act for the incorporation of Insurance Companies, defining their powers, and prescribing their duties," "Approved June 17, 1855." ' Let us analyze this title, and see what it means. I he subject matter of the act is to authorize the incorporation "j insurance Companies in. the state of Indiana, (no lawyer will pretend that the Legislature has power to incorporate a company out of the State,) also for defining their pouters, and prescribing their duties. Whose powers, and whose duties are referred to? The word their is a representative pronoun, used to represent its antecedent Insurance Companies to be incorporated in the State of Indians. There can be no mistake in understanding the title of the act mean; an act jor me incorporation of Insurance Companies i the State of Indiana, for defining the powers and prescibing unties oj such companies. The 56th section of this act Of June 17. I850 rends as fol

"Kvery person who shall undertake to aet as an Insurance 'l!ent forms company not incorporated under the tars of this Klals, shall dm Utqsi wll , Kecord.ir of the couuly In which ho proposes to establish his agvnrv, an authenticated C'-py of a resolution, or order of the Board of Directors of eu. h company, authorizing any citizen or resident of Indiana having a claim growing out of a contract of Insurance made with such agent thoreiii, to.ua fr n,e same In any court of this Stale, and consenting thai service of process ou such agent shall have the snme force and effect as If served upon tho I'resblent and Directors of such Company; and he shall also Hie an nnlheiilieated copy of his commission, or power of attorney, under which he claims io act as such agent: and any Insurance mailo, or procured to be made by such agent, or person acting In behalf, or as the medium of any foreign Insurance Company, contrary i, the provisions of this section, shull be void." An auahals of this 50lh section shows ihnl iu object into iscure to resilient citiiens of Indiana harmr claims graving out f contracts of Insurance made in Initiana, with agents of companies not inrorporatcd under the lauts of Indiana, the right to sue the company on such contracts in the Courts of the Stats of Indiana, by serving process on the agent. 'Mils is the whole and side object of ibis section everything else In the section is hut subsidiary, iiieldeutul, anil subservient to this object. Tim Hull section of the stlti Article of the Constitution reads s follows: Every act shall embrace but one subject, and matters properly connected therewith; which subject shull be oxiira.ind in the title. "Hul If any subject shall be embraced In an act. which shall not be expressed in the title, such act shall be void only as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed in the title." The title of Hie act, as has been shown, relates entirely to the subject of incorM)raling Insurance Cumpanius In Indiana, denning the powers, and prescribing the duties of seen Companies. The subject matter of the said 5tllh section has no reference whatever to incorporated Insurance Companies In Indiana, neither has it any reference whatever, in the most remote degree, to tho powers or duties of sent Companies. Tho solo object and subject matter of the said 5ilih sec., as has been shown. Is to secure to resident citizens of Indiana having claims, Ac, the riirht to sue by serving process on the agent; (not corporations in the State of Indiana) but every Company doing an insurance business in Indiana by agents, and not Incorporated under the laws of tills State. This will Include every company out of the Stale, doing business ill Indiana by agents, no mailer whether the Company Is a corporation or an ordinary copartnership; and It will include evorv company in Indiana not incorporated under the laws of this Slate, undertaking to do nil Insurance business by agents. It may be said Unit tho Legislature by the express! my Company not Incorporated under the laws of this State," meant only Foreign corporations, or corporations out of this Stale. Ho It so. It does not change the nature of Hie c llliillonal objection to aid 511 h section. There Is another objection equally fatal to aald section. It Is this. The matters ennlained In said section belong to the cods of procedure, and Hie) have nothing whatever lo do with the sublcct embraced in the title of the act, nor with any matter property connected therewith. If I am correct iu this view, of which I hnve no doubt, then Ihero can be no question of the unconstitutionality of this section 50. The next and prinrlpal question to which your Inquiry Is directed, is as lo the constitutionality of the act of March 2, 1855, entitled "An actio amend an act entitled an act for the Incorporation of Insurance f ninpniilos, defining their powers and prescribing their duties." Approved Juno 17, 185'.'. Sec. '.'I of Hie 4th Article of the Constitution reads as follows, to-wit: "No act shall ever be revised or amended by more reference to Its title; but tli i) act revised, or section amended, shall be set forth and published at full length." The said auieiidntory aet of March 2, 1855, professes to amend no other part of the act of June 17, 1852, except sec. 5(1 1 admit the section Is sol forth at full length. V hat of It? If I have shown that the section Is unconstilutlonnl and void, what is lo become of tho attempted amendment? The amendatory net Is a still greater departure from the subject embraced In the title. The amendntory set contains nine sections. The 1st section requires agents to obtain a certificate from the Auditor of Stale, Ac, before they can lawfully transact business. Also requires such agent In furnish Hie Auditor with a statement, under oalh of tho President or Secretary of the company, which statement shall show fourteen enumerated spoclrtciillnns, to be signed by the President and Secretary and to bounder the seal of the company, and which shall authorize the agent to receive service of process, 40. Prohibits incorporated companies out of the Suite from transacting business of insurance in this State unions they comply with certain complicated condition. After the Auditor is furnished with all the said statements, and with satis factory evidence, die., it shall be his duly to issue certificate to the agent to transact business. Tho 2d soc. provides iigalnst corporations Incorporated out of the United States, transacting any business of insuranco 111 Indiana, unless under certain restrictions. Sec. 3d, Provides for filing in the office of the clork of the Circuit Court of the county where agencies are to ho established, a copy of the statement required to be filed with the Auditor of State, and the certificate of the Auditorof Stnte. The 4th section requires the first stiitmnent and evidences required by the amendatory net, to be (lied on or before the fifteenth day of April, 1855, and thereafter renewed snml-an-nunlly In the months of January and July In each year; and the Auditor of State on being satisfied thnt the c.inltal. securi

ties, die, remain secure ns at first, shall furnish a renewal of cortllleate ns nfnrcsalil, nnd the agent obtaining such certificate shall file the snme, together wilh the statement on which it was obtained or renewed. In the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the county In which such agency is established, nnd shall cause the same to bo published in at least one newspaper of said county. This is a most remarkable section. Tiie acts of the legislature of 1855 are not yet in force. Yet this section requires tho first statemnnt and evidences required by the act shall be filed on or before the 15th day of April, 1855, and to be renewed thereafter semi-annually in tiie months of Januarv andJiilv. Tho Hrst renowal period of July has also passed and the act not yet in force. The provisions of the act are Imperative ns to time the penalty contained in the Uth section for violating the provisions of the act is a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or Imprisonment not exceeding thirty days, or both In tho discretion of the Courl. No man is bound t know what 1111 act of the Legislature will be 11 11 til 1 It Is published. No man can be punished for the violation of an actof the Legislature, until it is in force. No construction enn give a legislative act oithor an ex post facto or retroactive effect. It Is Impossible for any person to comply Willi the provisions of this 4th section showing no legal obligation yet. as an act of tiie legislature the time for the first act required to be done being not merely directory, but imperative, nnd that time having elapsed, tills section therefore In itself becomes a nullity. If the act were constitutionnl in other respects, this section being a nullity, as it Is impossible, lo comply with Its Imperative requisitions, nnd the remaining provisions o f the act so connected and dependent thereon, it therefore renders the whole act, for tills reason, void. Livingston's Law Mag. for February, The (Vth section regulates tho agent's duty regarding law suits. The 6th section requires the President, Secretary, or General Agent to file a statement In the month of Janunry, in each year, with tho Auditor of State, showlnir the amount of n mili ums received during the preceding year, and requires five per centum thereon, to be deposited with the Auditor until the sum 01 twenty-five thousand dollars Is deposited, to be held for the benelit of persons that may Insure In such enmpanios, die. Sec. 7, Provides for copies of all papers died with the Auditor, to lie received as evidence , Arc. Sec. 8, Dispenses with notice from the insured to the compa- ,', within a period of not less than Ave days after loss. Ac. It also renders void all conditions and agreements in a policy not to sue for a period ol three years. Sec. 9, is the last section, and is In the following words, towit : " Any person or persons violntlng the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction thereof before any Court of comnetont jurisdiction, be fined In any sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, or Imprisonment in the county Jail not more than thirty days, or both, at the discretion of the Court. Violations of the provisions or tins act may be prosecuted by information filed by the prosecuting attorney of the proper county, or by indictment of the grand Jury." This section is so foreign from tho subject embraced in Ihe title of the act. Hint It is only necossnry to rend it to see that the constitution intended to prohibit Just such legislation. No person would ever think from rending the title of the act, of looking through It for a highly ponal enactment, nnd especially on a subject having no connection with the matter embracea in the line. If a penal section can he Inserted In any remedial act of the legislature, and especially without any reference thereto in the title, and without any reference thereto In the Index, then the lttth section of the 4th article of the constitution isadeud letter, or it hns a moaning that I do not understand. It is true, the constitution has no reference to an Index ; but it requires that every act shall embrace but one subject nnd matters properly connected therewith; which subject shall bo expressed in tho title. Tho constitution by this section intend ed to restrict the General Assembly in its legislation, from the vile and censurable practice of passing omnibus bills, or bills with omnibus provisions a practice which had become a great evil under the old constitution. The constitution also intends that every act shall not only be restricted to one subject, hut that each net slinll contain in Its titlo a syllabus of its contents. Not only to prevent Improper legislation, through unscrupulous members overreaching and hoodwinking other members, and the public. But the constitution also intends thnt enery act shall contain In its titlo a sufficient indication of the suhlectinnts ter to direct the most unskilled to ascertain from the reading of me line wnere 10 nun me law. This constitutional provision has a clear and definite mean lug, intended for clear nnd definite purposes, obvious to every practising lawyer acquainted wilh our past history. The restrictive policy of this section is one of tiie soundest In the new constitution. It is a great shield against utopian-tlnkering fraudulent and inconsiderate legislation a curse under which Indiana groaned for years, before the adoption oflhe new constitution. It may be inconvenient and vexatious in mnny instances, but it is correct in theory, and wholesome in practice, as to the rights of the masses, and the best interests of the Stnte, and is well adapted to secure some permanency in Judicious legislation. - - There is still another objection. The title of the act shows that the subject matter of the act is a remedial statute Tho ninth section belongs entirely to the criminal code. They ore subject to different modes of construction. The former is to be constrned liberally, like ull remedial statutes; whilst the latter is to be construed strictlv like all penal acts. The whole amendntory act appears to have been penned by an Interested person who seems to have drawn the act in the form of a general law, to answer some special purpose; which Is 100 frequently aone in our wne legislation. Sec. 19, of the bill of rights reads tiius : 'In all criminal cases whatever, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts." By the ninth section of this amendatory act the assessment of the punishment is vested 111 the discretion ot the Court. I have no doubt of the whole amendatory act being a nullity, The case of Fowler vs. Throckmorton, 6 Blackf.. p. 326. re. ferred to by Judge McDonald, is undoubtedly the law, but it involves no principle of a constitutional nature- The questions decided by the Court in that case, were questions arising upon the cons-ruction ol a statute where the restrictive policy of the law was in contemplation.

Resolved, That the Democratic party have no new principles to present to the country, but stand hs they ever have done, upon the broad grounds of the Constitution of the United Slates, the integrity of the Union, and a general National sentiment which acknowledges the civil and religious rights of every citizen of the Republic. Resolved, That we still find many good and substanuial reasons to condemn and repudiate all secret political societies, and pledge ourselves to oppose their political operations so long as they continue to be characterized by acts of lawless disorder, tvranny and bloodshed. Resolved, That we extend the right hand of fellowship to all of our fellow-citizens regardless of former party distinctions, who avow a National faith and who are opposed to political Abolitionism, and the dominion of secret, oath-bound political bodies. Resolved, That we pledge our undivided and energetic support to the nominees of this Convention, and will deem any who dissents from our action nnd who votes against our nominees as being unworthy to be known as a Democrat, or to meet in Democratic meetings nnd Conventions', it being at tho present time the only method whereby we can express our disapprobation of the principles of our adversaries. Resolved, That in view of the submission of the existing Temperance law to the decision of the Supreme Court, as to its constitutionality, we forbear to make any expression upon its provisions, only giving it as our opinion that an early decision of the Court would do much to settle the public mind, and cnablo tho people to shape their business in regard to the law of the land, and let that decision be as it may, we pledge ourselves to a peaceable acquiesence in the decision and to submit it to whatever may be determined by our highest judical tribunal to be constitutional law, jt2rThe statistical tables of mortality shows a reduction in this country of the proportion of deaths from pulmonary diseases.
