Your letter asking our opm10ns whether a law au- thorizing two sessions of the Supreme Court to be held during the same year would violate any any [sic] provision of the Constitution, has been duly received. The proposed law provides that one session shall be held in the City of Austin in the month of January and the other shall be held in the town of Nacogdoches in the month of June next succeeding. · Now the 8th section under the 4th Article of the Constitution says "The Supreme Court shall hold its sessions annually
