should be vacated and set aside as erroneous.
Mr.. Bows had for long time lived the
greater part OF tho year at lrNinRtun, AMI
spent the winter months in the city. His VIII

ground that q large part OF the personal prop
crty which he left was In this city His per-
snnal estate was assessed here by the Com
mlssioners for the year 1881 at SlOOoOOO.
This assessment was disputed by the eNecu-
tors and trustees. Their contention was. in the
first place that there was no property here in
the custody OF the trustees, and hence no tax
could be placed upon it; and. furthermore.
that n tax could not be placed upon the ex.
ecutors and trustees as n whole as none OF
them resided in this city with the exception OF
BENJAMIN Brewster. ,.
Thomas y. Wickes. as referee. reported that
when the assessment was made Executor
