A Setback to the Projectors of the Fight

tax collector of Dallas, Re says:
after careful examination and con-
sideration of the question presented, I
have come to the conclusion that while
the act of 1859 provided for an occupa-
ton tax of $500 for every fight between
man and map, the legislature of this,
State has by subsequent enactment.
made it unlawful for any person to-
voluntarily engage in a pugilistic en-
counter for m ney.
THAT the effect of said act was to
repeal so much of the C of 1889 as
permitted an occupation tax to be
charged for fights between man and
man hes been decided by our Court of
Criminal Appeals. You are, therefore,
resp ctfully advised that this depart
ment will not attempt to legaliz9 the,
proposed pugilistic encounter in this,
State by the issuance Of a license there
for, or Oy authorizing you, as tax col
lectOr of Dallas county, to receive any
sum of money from any person as q
license tax for such performance, when
the same is manifestly unlawful, and
