which will cause the collection of large
amount of taxes hereafter in Cape May

vessel property OF Captain Philip Wheaton,
of Tuckahoe, at valuation of $4,000
This assessment Captain Wheaton refused
to recognize, claiming that the vessels as
sessed were not in the waters of New Jer-
sey and did not hail FREY par. in Sew
Jersey.
The case was taken to court and if
delivering his opinion Justice Dixon de-
cIared that all vessel property owned by 8
resident of the State, whether it be in the
waters of the United States OF some foreign
C untry, is taxable in the township where
the owner resides.
