additional license tax on each OF the
subordinate branches thereof. We do
not think, however, the decision In
that case is at all applicable to those
now under consideration. The funda-
mental mistake of counsel for the
city lies In the proposition advanced
by him that the certificate OF the or
binary limits the holder Of the same
to the transaction without license of
one particular kind of business only.
We are firmly of the option that I'M
der the law the holder OF such q ce. IT,
1lcate is authorized to engage in bus
mess generally. and therefore to carry
on as many different lines Of business
as he may be able with his own means
to conduct in his own name and on
his own account. or course, he cou
not legally transfer his privilege, d-
rect,y or Indirectly, to ano Their. We ac-
cordtngly hold that c MED srate SOL
der having q proper certificate from
the ordinary may carry Oh draying
business without paying any license
for the privilege of so doing, and also
without paying any specific taXss up n
the drays used by him In connection
Herewith; and further that he may en-
6 &c In selling wood, and del verins the
same by wagons, without becoming
liable for any municipal tax either
upon his occupation or upon the veh-
cieS by means of which II s business is
conducted. AS a matter OF course, his
servants and employees are also pro-
tected by the certificate under which
he operates, and Cannot themselves be
called upon to pay for any lii ense COW
cred by the exemption granted TO him.
1t follows from the above that the
conviction OF the plaintiffs in error was
contrary to law, and that the superior
court erred in holding to the contrary.
Judgment in each case reversed.

FLICK v. sTAUFFER,

supreme Court of Appeals Of Virginia.
November %, 1899.
A PLEA OF PAYMENT OF A NOTE
is NOT SUPPORTED BY PROOF
THAT THE MAKER LEFT MONEY
TO PAY 1T AND OTHER LIENS,
IN THE HANDS OF A PURCHAS-
Err OF THE LAND ON WHICH 1T
WAS SECURED. AND WHO DID
NOT KNOW OF IT'S EXISTENCE.
Flick sued Stauffer on his note for
S5o0. Staufer pleaded payment. The
note was secured by q deed Of trust on
certain land of Stauffer and was owned
by one Brummel. Flick, a lawyer, cX-
ahmed the title for this land for Mo-
CART and John Stauffer, who desired to
purchase 1t, and overlooked the deed of
trust given to secure this note. Mogart
and Sthuffer bought the land and
Stauffer, the owner Of the land and
maker of the note, stated that he left
sufficient money with the purchasers to
pay all liens on the land, including the
note
After the sale Flick discovered his
mistake, bought the note from Brum-
mel and brought suit on it.
The lower court gave Judgment for
defendant and Flick appealed.
The court says:
Conceding that the conflict upon this
point whether defendant left enough
money In the purchasers hands to pay
all liens) must. under the rule applica-
pie in cases of Il demurrer TO evidence,
be determined i'll favor OF the defend
ant In error, and granting that Il sum
sufficient to pay all liens was left in the
hands OF the purchasers for that pur-
pose, the important and crucial Ques-
ton still remains: Has the plea of
payment been sustained by the proof?
The defendant in error merely proves
that he left in the hands of Mogart and
Stauflcr sum sufficient to discharge
all the liens on the land; he does not
show what they did with the money,
and there are no facts proved from
which the jury had q right to infer that
they paid any part of it either to the
original payee OF the note or his as
siGnee. The evidence is uncontradictcd
that the plaintiff In error took up the
note with his own money, and that he
did 1t to save his clients from loss re-
sultinE from his failure to report the
lien to them. Mogart and Stauffer,
with whom the money was left by the
defendant In error. were strangers to
this note; the evidence is uncontra-
dictcd that they did not know of it's ex-
istence. The defendant in error does
not pretend that he mentioned this lien
Mt the tine the money was left with
the purchasers. although the testimony
of the plaintiff in error showed that
neither the note, nor the deed &c tru t
securing it, was mentioned by any
one, at the time the transaction was
closed
If the plaintiff In error had never
bought the note, surely his assiSror
could have sued the defendant in err
ror and recovered. and the record fur
nishes no suggestion why the plaintiff
in error should occupy a less favorable
position than his assignor.
We are OF opinion that the evidence
wholly fails 10 show payment of the
debt in the declaration mentioned, and
there fore the judgment complained of
must be be reversed.
