THE IRISH WITNESS.

The proverbial humor of the Irish Is
unawed by the majesty OF the law. Such
is shown to be The fact by a number of
cases cited in an article in the Green Bay
on ''whlmsicalities OF Irish Witnesses"
The writer says:
The Irish witness, especially when e.
longing 10 the peasant class, is often a
trial TO the counsel, for not only Is he
quick at repartee, but his answers are
often confusing by their quaintness and
wfiimsicahty.
In the bankruptcy court j once heard
a witness asked the amount of his gross
income. .
ME gross income is It, sure an I'd
have ye know that I've no gross in
come I'm fisherman an me income is
all net" was the astonishing reply.
These witnesses are often confused
through the misunderstanding of words
and phrases. and as a consequence many
laugh cannot be suppressed, even by
the most strict tipstan.

Cleveland Courts Decide Case Against
Them.

An important tax decision was hand
ed down in the United States circuit
court Thursday morning at Cleveland
in which nearly 100000 in taxes were
involved. Several months ago Treas
urer Brumfield of Richland county
brought suits in that county against
the Aultman & Taylor Co. and the
administrator OF the estate of Michael
ID. Harter, formerly Congressman of
the Fourteenth district, to collect near
ly S500,000 in taxes on property which
the auditor claimed had not been
listed for taxation and which he added
to the duplicate, by virtue of the So
called Morgenthalcr system.
The defendants in the tax suits ap-
piled to the United States court for
an injunction To restrain the Richland
county treasurer from proceeding with
the suit to collect the taxes and a tenn
porary Injunction was allowed. A mo-
urer TO dissolve the injunction and was
heard by Circuit Judges I.,lrton and
Kicks. The judges handed down their
opinion Thursday, in which they held
United States court had no right to
interfere in the matter. They dissolv-
ed the injunction and dismissed the
suit. The decision is an important vic
tory for the county tax officials as the
same question has arisen in many
counties throughout the state.
There are n number of tax suits that
were brought in this county and were
carried to the United States court that
Will be affected by the decision.
