ASSESSMENTS Upon TRUSTEES, &C.
III the matter of the assessment upon
Fl luciaries, trustees. &c, with taxes on
bonds, moneys, &c, 10 their hands,
Judge Norton, of the Corporation Court,
to-day held that the whole assessment
was illegal. Under the acts of 1S95-'96
Mr.. A. w. Sinclair was appointed
special examiner by Judge Nicol to ex
emine and furnish the commissioners of
revenue for the counties of Fauquier,
Loudoun, Prince William, Rappahan-
mock, Fairfax, Alexandria and Alexan-
dria city with detailed statement of
all bonds, moneys, &C., in the hands of
any fduciary, trustee, &C., in any OF
said counties and city. Thereupon the
commissioner of revenue was required
to assess the same for taxes. Judge
Norton decided that Examiner Sinclair
had not furnished the commissioner OF
revenue of the city of Alexandria with
a detailed statement, as required by
said act, but bad only furnished a lum-
pus statement, which did not show
whether the trustee, 6duciary, &C., held
bonds, moneys, notes or stocks, &c, and
had himself assessed the value lumpus,
thus making it impossible for the COM
missioner of revenue properly to assess
the taxes thereon. Commonwealth's
Attorney Marbury noted an appeal. II
the decision holds it will invalidate the
whole assessment upon trustees, IL
duciaries, &c.
