Fores Store, Va.
1. We can find no tax laws which bear
directly on the subject of fortune-telers,
though such supposed prophecies, If made
publicly and in connection with other
shows, would certainly come within some
Of the provisions pertaining TO entertain
ments. shows, &c. The Com.nissi )ner OF
the Revenue OF your county doubtless
can give you positive answer.
2. We cannot see how citizen Of good
standing would be materially injured by
losing such certificate, as the banks
books would show how his account stood.
In the cities the depositor when he
places money in bank. has the deposit
entered in a small pass-book. quite IRE
ouently these books are lost, and though
il occasions the bank clerks some trouble
10 copy them again from their accounts
the depositor never feels the slightest
uneasiness about his money.
OF course, if the bank refused to give
I'D the money on deposit it could be sued,
and we presume the action of debt or as
sumpsit would lie against it. Ind pcssi-
blv also a motion under section SZ1 OF
the Code. 1t seems absurd to think, how
ever that any honest banking officials
would allow such matter as this to get
into court.
