IMPORTANT INCOME TAX DECIsIoy.-Mr
Darlington, of West Chester, Pa, bought some
government bonds in 1864, which he sold at a
profit in 1859, and on that profit the government
claimed payment Of the income tax. Mr.. Oar
lington paid under protest and carried the ques-
ton into the United States Circuit Court, PhiIa-
delphia, arguing that this profit did not arise in
1852 that possibly no part of it arose then; that.
in fact, the bonds had attained a higher value
before that year than he finally sold them for
and that, therefor, all the profit was not in
come Of 1869, nor asceTtainabe income OF any
year. The Court unanimously decided in favor
of Mr.. Darlington; and, as the District Attorney
seemed to think, it necessarily follows from this
decision that such profit, ascertained only at
the end Of several years, cannot be taxed at all
since the law imposes tax only upon annual
income. Mr. Darlington was able to maintain
his suit. and will finally recover the amount of
tax collected from him, only because he had
paid it under protest as 1t has been estab-
hshed that no legal means An be taken for the
the recovery even of an unjust tax that has b2en
paid without protest.
