Opinion

Per Curiam.

(1) All questions of fact involving the validity of the tax assessments complained of, raised by the pleadings, were properly in issue and should have been submitted to the jury for their determination under suitable instructions. As the issue in the case was restricted by the presiding justice at nisi prius to the mere question of excessive taxation, a new trial must be had.

Case remanded to the Common Pleas Division for further proceedings. •
