EXAMINERS EVIDENCE
POINT AT ISSUE
Objections of Pcdcns counsel to Mr..
Cardwell's evidence as Improper. in
view Of his official position, were over
ruled by tho court. The question to
be determined now ny the appellate
tribunal is whether disclosures Of prop
crtY ownership made under compuision

missioner of the revenue are strictly
, confidential or whether such informa-
ton acquired by the tax officer may
be used in n court OF justice rs bona
tidc evidence.
Counsel for Peden cite the statute
OF 1916 In support OF their contention
that the tax officer violates confidence
when he offers such Information as tes-
timony. The law in question reads:
