An ACT to amend an act entitled 'An act establishing a permanent revenue.'
Approved December 20, 1794.
Sec. 1. BE it enacted by the General
Assembly, that so much of the act entitled an act for establishing a permanent revenue, as subjects lands to forfeiture, in case they are not listed with a commissioner, and the taxes that may become due thereon with interest, not paid on or before the fourth day of February, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted , that it shall be the duty of every person, when applied to by a commissioner for a list of his taxable property, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, to give in on oath a list of all his lands, whether he holds by entry survey, patent, or deed of conveyance, specifying in such list the number of acres in each tract, and the county and water course in which it is situate, also what tax (if any) has been paid for each tract of land, and the year for which such tax was paid, and every person failing or refusing to give in a list of his, her, or their lands, shall forfeit to the state, all title claim, or interest, that he, she, or they may have in, or to, any tract or parcel of land, not given in as aforesaid, and the lands so forfeited, shall be disposed of in such manner as shall be directed
by law. Provided nevertheless , that nothing herein contained be construed to extend to the lands of infants, Feme covert s, or persons non compos mentis .
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted , that non-residents and such persons as were not applied to by a commissioner, shall enter their lands with some commissioner of the tax in the state, in the same manner as above directed, on or before the last day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, or on failure thereof, all title, claim, or interest of such non resident or other person in, or to, any such tract or parcel of land shall be forfeited to the state, and disposed of as aforesaid. And where a commissioner shall receive any entries of lands from non residents, or other persons after he shall have made four general lists of taxable property & delivered them to the respective officers, & before the said last day of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, such commissioners shall forthwith make out four lists of such entries and have them certified by the clerk of his county according to law, and deliver one to the sheriff, and another to the auditor, who shall annex them to the general list before delivered by the said commissioner.
Sec. 4. That it shall be lawful for the sheriff to detain for the land tax due in the manner directed by the act entitled an act establishing a permanent revenue, and where no such property can be found, to sell so much of each tract of land charged with the tax as will be sufficient to pay the same, if the said land shall lie in his county, and the sheriff shall in such case advertise the sale, for one month, at the door of the court house of his county, and for three weeks successively in the Kentucky gazette, after such sale it shall be the duty of the sheriff, to deliver to the purchaser a certificate of the quantity of land sold, describing therein the tract that was charged with the tax, and the end or side from which the quantity sold is taken, and the surveyor of the county upon the receipt of such certificate, shall by him or depu-
ty, proceed to survey the quantity sold as aforesaid agreeable to the certificate of the sheriff, and shall charge the purchaser with the expence of the same. The surveyor or his deputy, as the case may be, shall give reasonable notice to the former owners, if to be found in the county, or to his agent, if any he has therein, of the day on which survey is to be made, and upon the plat and certificate of the survey made as aforesaid being produced to the sheriff, it shall be his duty to convey the same to the purchaser, which conveyance shall vest in the purchaser, all the right, title, and interest of the proprietor for whose tax the land shall be sold. If the land entered on a list delivered to a sheriff shall not lie within his county, and payment shall not be made to him of the tax due thereon, he shall on or before the first day of May in every year, certify to the auditor a copy of so much of the list delivered to him as relates to lands entered with a commissioner of his county lying in another county, and it shall be the duty of the auditor to transmit a copy of the same to the sheriff of the county in which such land lie on or before the first day of June, whose duty it shall be, if payment is not made, and no property to detain can be found, to sell the same, in the manner he is herein before directed to sell lands entered and lying within his own county.
Sec. 5. Be it further enacted , that if any such purchaser is afterwards legally evicted from the lands so purchased by a prior or better claim, he shall have a right to recover by action on the case from the persons whose lands were sold for the payment of the tax, the amount of the tax so paid to the sheriff for such person, for the lands so purchased: and where he is evicted out of part of the land only, he shall have a right to recover a proportionable part of the tax paid to the sheriff. Where the sheriff shall expose any part of land for sale for the payment of the tax with which it is charged, and it will not sell for the same, it shall be the duty of the county court upon proof being
made of the same, to certify it to the auditor, who shall give the sheriff credit for the tax with which such tract of land is charged, or so much thereof as is in arrears, and where any tract or part thereof is not sold upon being exposed as aforesaid, and the tax for the same is not paid, it shall be the duty of the sheriff to expose the same annually, until the tax is paid or the land is sold; and no sheriff or his deputy shall directly or indirectly, purchase any lands that shall be exposed to sale for the payment of taxes, and any land purchased by a sheriff or his deputy, or any other for his or their use as aforesaid, shall be forfeited to the state.
The owner of every lot in a town shall pay three shillings for every one hundred pounds of value to which such lot is appraised exclusive of the improvements thereon, and so in proportion for a less value. It shall be the duty of the commissioners to assess or appraise the value of every lot in every town within his district, from the best information he can get, not taking into consideration the improvement thereon, which shall not be appraised; if any such owner of any such lot, shall think himself aggrieved he shall have a right to appeal to the next county court who, upon due proof being made shall have power to alter such assessed or approved value, as to them shall seem just. Where any list or lists delivered to a sheriff as aforesaid, shall by accident or otherwise be lost or destroyed, such sheriff shall apply to the county court of his county for a copy of the same, and it shall be their duty to direct their clerk to make out and certify a true copy of any list or lists lost or destroyed as aforesaid, and deliver the same to the sheriff.
Sec. 7. Be it further enacted , that a list of all insolvents and of such persons as have removed out of the county with their property shall be returned by the sheriff on oath to the county court, which list so far as approved of and allowed by the court, shall be transmitted to the auditor, with an account of the tax due from any person who may

have removed out of the county, together with the name of the county to which he may have removed; which account the auditor shall immediately transmit to the sheriff of the county to which such person may have removed, to be charged on his book and collected and accounted for according to law.
Sec. 8. Provided always, and be it further enacted , that all arrears of taxes due for land, shall be charged and collected according to the class in which each tract is placed, and where any person has paid the tax on any tract of land that he or she, or tenants claiming under him or her, did not actually reside on at the time such tax was paid or any part thereof, which will appear from the commissioners list, such person shall have credit for the surplus of the land tax (if any) according to the class in which his land is placed, charging him only with the amount of the tax due on his or her lands as classed. And provided further that no land shall be sold for the payment of taxes before the first day of May annually, at which time the sheriff of each county, shall receive from the auditor an account of all taxes that have been paid by non-residents for lands listed with any commissioner of his county, and of the lands for which such tax was paid to enable him with certainty to know what lands he shall be obliged to sell for the payment of taxes.
Sec. 9. Provided and be it further enacted , that the several sums of money on law process, alienations, seals, or otherwise, paid to, and collected by the several clerks of the county courts, and courts of quarter sessions, shall be annually accounted for, and paid as by law is directed, at some time in the month of November; and so much of any law as requires the said clerks to account for, and pay the monies as aforesaid, in the months of June and December, shall be, and the same is hereby repealed.
And that the commissioners books for entering land, may be uniform throughout the commonwealth.

Sec. 11. And be it further enacted , that the taxes to be collected in the year 1795 be reduced one fourth part.
Sec. 12. And be it further enacted , that the different sheriffs in this state, shall have till the first day of August, annually to settle their respective accounts with the treasurer; and so much of any act as obliges them to settle on or before the first day of June, is hereby repealed, nothing in this act shall be construed so as to effect the taxes that are to be collected for the present year. All lands shall be assessed agreeably to its quality, without reference to the rich lands in Fayette; and so much of any former law as makes the rich lands in Fayette the standard of first rate land, shall be and is hereby repealed.
This act shall commence and be in force from and after the passage thereof.
CONGRESS.
SENATE.—Saturday, November 22. Answer of the President of the United States, to the address of the Senate in answer to his speech to both houses of Congress, at the opening of the session.
Gentlemen,
Among the occasions which have been afforded for expressing my sense of the zealous and steadfast co-operation of the Senate, in the maintenance of government; none has occurred, more forcibly demanding my unqualified acknowledgements, than the present.
Next to the consciousness of upright intentions, it is the highest pleasure to be approved by the enlightened representatives of a free nation. With the satisfaction therefore, which arises from an unalterable attachment to public order, do I learn, that the Senate discountenance those proceedings which would arrogate the direction of our affairs, without any degree of authority derived from the people.
It has been more than once the lot of our government, to be thrown into new and delicate situations: and of these, the insurrection has not been the least important. Having been compelled at length to lay aside my repugnance, to resort to arms, I derive much happiness from being confirmed by your judgment in the necessity of decisive measures, and from the support of my fellow citizens of the militia, who were the patriotic instruments of that necessity.
With such demonstrations of affection for our constitution—with an adequate organization of the militia—with the establishment of necessary fortifications—with a continuance of those judicious and spirited exertions, which have brought victory to our Western army—with a due attention to public credit, and an unfulfilled honor towards all nation, we may meet under every assurance of success, our enemies from within and from without.
