Lore, C. J.:
After examination and careful consideration of the printed briefs filed by the respective parties in these cases, the Court have reached the conclusion that as the cases stated show the real property referred to therein is being used for school purposes where the tuition is free, it comes within the constitutional exemption (Section 8, Article 10, Constitution of 1897), and is therefore exempt from taxation.
Let judgment be entered for defendant for costs in each case.
