The report of tho Committee in relation to tho
suspended tax ticket Of Jesse Haze was then call
ed up. Charles L. Slaughter, Esq, appeared ~
counsel for Mr.. Hare, and made an ingenious and
allie argument in favor OF granting the prayer Of
Mr.. IL to be released from the payment If II tax
amounting 10 S3,3l2. assessed upon 500 nG0 Of
stocks conveyed to ID. II. Miller, of Baltimore
The Select Committee reported adversely to the
petition. and gave their reasons ~ follows:
1t. That the conveyance of Jesse Hare to d.
II. Miller, is but n will in disguise. subject to the
control of sail Hare, and that should Ii" die mites
tate it makes no provision other than the law hns
already mrlc, viz; distribution among his legal
representatives.
81, There is no evidence that the deed Of CON
veyance from Hare to Miller ever passed out of
the hands of Jesse Hare until be offered it for re-
cord, on the % h day Of October, 1852, ut the
clerks Office oi the Hastings Court Of the City of
Lynchburg; and that the article itself could
at any time have been destruyct it being shown
that it had not been previously recorded in the
cites Of Baltimore or Lvnehburg Mt one Of which
points Hare. Miller and all the bcncicalic- reside.
Sd, There Is no evidence before your committee
that Jesse Hare ever parted with the ownership ct
the Aforementioned stocks Mt all anl from the
taet that they cannot be onnl assessed any where,
and most of the benetriares Of the trust reside
in the City OF Lynchbur, it is hur fair ta presume
they we've Ignorant II the "xistrncr Of the con-
veyance, and that jesse Hare did have not only
control, but actual possession Of said stocks in
lS5S. This presumption is further strengthened
by the information your committee has received,
that on or about the fist Of July, 1873 the said
Hare did se. i'll tie City Of Lynchburg, coupons
taken from, bonds corresponding neatly with the
above stocks. and that the proceeds Of raid sale
were placed To the individual credit and account
VI said Hare.
After considerable debate lctwccn Mr.. lis
counsel, the members of Council it was re-
solved unanimously to adopt the report Of the
committee, and refuse the prayer Of tie petition
