The Supreme Court Makes an
Important Decision.
PRECEDENT IS NOW ESTABLISHED.
County Cannot Imprison a man to Make
him pay his tax.
At the request of this paper, Hon.
S. B. Huston, who was attorney for
Mr. Kirkwood, makes the following
statement of the Kirkwood-'Ford-as-Sheriff'cuse:
Statement of the Case.
In the year 181)4 there was as
sessed to Geo Kirkwood certain
moneys, notes and accounts, upon
which the taxes were not paid, and
the sheriff was unable to find any
property out of which to collect
them. The sheriff thereupon filed
an affidavit in the county court as
serting that he was unable to col
lect the taxes due from said Geo.
Kirkwood amounting to $138.35,
and that he believed Kirkwood had
property concealed. The county
judge made an order directing
Kirkwood to appear and be ex
amined under oath regarding his
property. Kirkwood appeared but

after, or to surrender to the sheriff

to dismiss the writ nf revmw unon
the ground that the remedy was
"Appeal" and not "Review."
Judge McBride over-ruled the mo
tion and reversed the judgment of
the county court, holding that
while they might imprison a man

do it in this Country; that if the
Hhentl could not nnd any property
upon wiiicii io levy, ne was power-

imprisoned for the purpose of com
pelling him to pav his taxes. From
this decision the county and II. P.
ford appealed to the supreme
court, which, on last Monday af
firmed the decision of Judge Mc-
Bride, bo the county loses. Some
persons seem imua uiai iioies
cannot be assessed and that the
taxes on them can not be collected.
