Company in 1861, 1861, 1868, aud 1859, on bonds

dar rendered decision In faror Of the Railroad
Company. Thcse coupons, With tho bonds to
which they wero attached, werc hct1 by non-
resident aliens, mostly in England. Tho
Court held that when interest was payable by

such Interest. the corporation was not liable to
pay such tax. The tax was held to bo q tax on
tho bondholder, tho corporation being tte agent
OF the Government for collecting nDd paying

power to tax persons or property not within the

dction Of the United States. Az the tax in the
present case WIS really q tux OIL tho property
and Income al non-rcsIdcnt aliens shon such
property was not Within the Jurisdiction, Of tho
resident aliens themselves, Il was tax which
could not bc upheld. This Government was,
therefore,, not entitled TO recover the
