THE KING CAN DO 10 WRONG
asither Can He Ever Die, According to
British Law.

1t Is curious point OF British law
mat the king never dies, or, to put 1T
IN another way. it would be useless Tor
any barrister to argue that the rulers
predecessors have really died, since the
utmost the law will admit is that there
NAV be demise of the crown, mean
ing, of course. simply that there has
been a transfer of the royal authority
from one person to another.
1t is a maxim that "the king can DO
no wrong" and under the law he
would not be held personally response
BILE for any crime or tort" that he
chose to commit at any time. At any
rate, we are assured by high constitu
tionaI authorities that the law should
actually and literally be so construed
and that the statutes hold that any in
jury his majesty might infiict upon
subject must be ascribed to the kings
advisers. One thing seems to be Ger
tain. and that is that his majesty can
under no circumstances whatsoever be
arrested Nor. moreover, could his
goods be distrained or taken in execu-
tion should he fail to meet his liabili-
ties.
A quaint feature of British law is
that in theory the king is present at
the law court at every sitting. though
he might in point of fact actually be on
the continent or elsewhere. 1t follows,
therefore, that 1T is impossible to non
suit him as plaintiff should he not put
in an appearance when his case is
called. since the law specifically states
that the king is there. In a similar
sense the king is always constructively
present in parliament, though he be
IN fact thousands of miles from his
shores
His majesty is under the law the
nominal guardian Of all infants, idiots
and lunatics. and to him is granted

that should he so desire the king could
forbid the printing OF any or ali of

WHO IS A TAxPAYER2
Legal Query Arising in Connection
With Status of Man Who Appealed
from Commissioners Action.

When does "a person become a tax
payer in town or city in Connecticut
las soon as he Cor she) files list
with the assessors or not until actual
ly making a payment of the tax as
sessed? This is a question that arises
as the result of securing of writ OF
mandamus from Judge eager of the
superior court against the commits
sioners of Windham county in connec>
ton with the granting of two licenses
to parties in Danie1son after q suppOs-
ed non-taxpayer had appealed from
the decision of the county commits
sioners to grant said Licenses. The ap-
peal was vavated by the commission
ers and the licenses granted after the
town clerk of Kiliingly had certified
to them that the man making the ap-
peal WAS not a taxpayer in that town
There is fine technical point in
volved in the matter pending decision
and the out come will be awaited with
interest. The matter hinges on the fact
that the Danielson man who made the
appeal that has been vacated has filed
a list of assessabIe property with the
assessors of the town OF Killingiy, but
is not called upon to pay taxes on that
list until next April. The granting of
the writ Of nlandamus was on appli-
cation of State Attorney Charles e.
Searls of this city.
