It was conclud- ed on the hearing that ehips and vassels are peraonal property, and such all the anthorities define them o ba. The law in thia State in force at the time this 38— sessment was made required the owners of all per- sonal property to return esch year to the Assessor a schedule or tist of all thoir personal proparty aubfect 40 taxation by a cortain dayto be fixed by the Assezzor, 2nd it was the duty of the Assessor to fix the fair cash value thereof, (Rev. Stat,, Chap. 1%, Sec. 2¢; Rov. Stat., Chap. 24, Secs. 249, 251, 252, and 253,) Tho twenty-Gith section of Chapter 120 prescribed tho form of the schedule, and required, among other things, that it should distinctly set forih in the seventeenth item “every steambont, eailing vessel. wharf boat, or other water craft.” ete. And by the thirteenth section of thesame chapter it w2s provided that * All persons, companics, and corporations in_this State owning’ stesmbocts, sailing vessels, wharf boals, barges, snd other sukng craft shall roquired to list tho same for sssemsment and tazation n tho counts, town, city, village, or dustrict {n which ths same may belong or be enrolled, registered, or licensed, or kopt when not enrolled, Teg- istered, or licensed.” Hercls s plain end palpable duty fmposed by law tpon the owner of vessel property. It was admitted on the hearing that, between the 15t of Mzy and st of July, 1674, 8 motion was sent to, or served upon, the owners of all vessels, as shown by the register of the port, requiring them to list their property &5 required by law. It is not contended that the inlerest of thesa libelanis, or_either of them, was scheduled in any list of tazable property roturncd by thom or either of them {0 the Assessor, In fact, it is admit(ed that the only tax essessed upon or ageinst this property is the one now in question. Undoubtedly this vessel, being personal_property, should be tixed against some owner. The general theory of our lsw does not allow of the assesement of the tax on_personal property as 20 independent res or thing, as ft may be asse=sed on resl estate under certain circumstances,—although there are some features of our later revenue laws which seem to point to tho idea that the Legislature intended, even in Tegard to some cluases of personal property, like bank shores, copifal stock, and vessel proferty, to tax the thing iteelf without regard to eny personai liability of 20 owner. But, notwithstsnding these incongruities, the geseral principle running through our law, as it now stands and siood st the time the tax was leviod, rquired the owner of vessel proparty to list it 28 personal property for taxation where 1t was subject 10 taxation, either by virtae of his residence or the enrollment and regetration of the property. Itisnot mecessary that I should docide what would bo the daty of tho owner of a vesscl resid- one place when his vessel s envolled or registered in another tax-district, s 1t i not cizimed that thess ownors, or either o them, were taxed elsewhers for this vessel, and it {8 admitted that two of the owners, representing thre fourths of ths, properts, resided in Chicigo, and the vessel was registered or enrolled as owned by Tibellznt, Jacob Johnson, Here it is admitted thot the owners of this property made no returns of it to tho Assessor, and the Asseasor assesced it in the form and ‘manper I have indicated, The assesRment and war- rant show the name of the vessel and the name of her registered owner, her vaiuation. and the tax s nor dose it appear that Johnson or either of the other libel- lants made any return of of ‘personal property. The position is, that this is a tax against the vessel, as such by her name—an assessment end wATTant in rem, 60 to speak—instead Of zn cssessment ageinst her omwners, But I differ with the proctors for libellants as to the construction and_effect to be given this 2sscasment snd warraat. True the owners might have returned tneir interest n this vessel {n their lst of personal Jroperty, sndifthey had doneso it should and would ave gono {nto their personal property assessment; Dt they neglected to do thus, sud left tho Asscssor to search out this property, fix its ownership, and sssess its value a5 best he could. Tho Assessor his mado an assessment in which tho name of the owner, the de- scription of the property, and its valuation, all sppear. What more js Tequisiio? and what else could the As sossor have done under the arcumstances 2 ‘The war- rant, like tho ssscssment, shows the name of the awner, the description of the proparty, ifs value, and the anount of the tax. 1 know of no other legal roqui- sites for & tax warrant ; nor does it makie sny Qiffer- ence, in my estmation, that ths description of the property is in the Arst coluwn to tho left Land, and the namo of the owner in the second. It seems sufi- cient Jf these tacts appesr on the face of the paper. This mey have been, and, for aught that sppears in this case, wag, the anly property for which Jacob John- son was tazed in the year 1873 If his property was vulnod too high, or if he waa taxed as sole owner of a pleco of properly when bo wai ooly yart owner, tho w provides s way in which he could by attending to it in'apt time bave had the assessment corrected ; but it does not lic in his mouth, after neglecting his duty in regard to listing his property, and after allowing the time to rass witkin which the sseessment 38 made Ly the Asseasor s0od open for correction, to object to the sssessment in these particulers, when it was his obvious duty to have madeit right in the first instance or had it corrected in proper time, ‘The policy of our law is that ail property ahall bear 1ts equal bare of tho burdens of the State and Cily Governmozt, A Courtof Adminalty is essentially & Court of Equity, and unless the libellant shows that £oms plain legal or oguitable right has been violated, orisin danger of being violated, rellef will not be given in this Court. This vessel was subject to taxa- ton by the City of Chicago, Ehe wes registered In the name of Jacob Johuson, Who was s resident of this city. Hemust for the purposes of taxation be pro- sumed to be the sole owner, It i3 ble that if Johneon had, while the assessment was subject to cor- rection, appeared before the proper tribunaland shown that be was only haif-owner, and asked to have the assessment corrected n_thet particular, it might have becn done. _But he failed to do this; and there is enougn, as I think, upon the face of the assprsment and warrant snd upon the admitted facts t0 ehow that THE TAX WAS PROPERLY ASSESSED. Tt may bo said that Peterson, one of tho libellants and owner of a quarter interest in the property, aid Dot reside in tho City of Chicago, put resided st Lake View, and therefore his interest could oaly be taxed whor he res.ded. My answer to that is, that Johneon appeared to be tts solo ownerof record, and offiecrs chirgea with the nssessment znd colloction of taxes are not required to look into the secret ownership of personal property, They do their duty when they assess the property sgainst the spparcnt owners & xhown by poasession or muniment of title, Take, for instance, a large wholessle or manufacturing firm in this city, There may be silent partners residing else- ‘where, who have an interest in the goods, but the propesty, is Lere, the frm ox 3 buslness entity in ere, end this thérefore should be, and under the law 1s, the place of taxation. 'T come, then, to the conclusion that the tax com- plained of in this case is not 3+ duty of tonmagn,” and that the warrant under which this vessel is tcized and ield is 80 far good as o aount to & justificztion in this Court of the seizure complained of. I do not say that it would bo s justification in a court of luw, for that question is not Lefore me, but a court of sdmi- ralty, like & _court of equity, 10oks into the substan- tial merits of the controversy, and 1 find this prop- erty Bubject to oesessment in the city. That it was in form s0assessed and o warrant issued to the Col- lector for the collection of the tax, and 1o resson is shown or made to appear why the tsx ghould not be paid. If the properry is taxed in the name of one owner instead of three, it is owing 1o the negligence of thase owners in not returning their achedules or ealling for a correction of the books after the assess- ment was made. The libel will, therefore, be dlemissed with costs, —_— ‘Tho Meathen Chineo, Gold Hirl (Nev.)

A Chinaman, who hnp{u:lsd to be passiog by, heard the cheerfal clink of coin, and. loosing "in, discovered tbat a game was in progress.

The question that puzzled them, no lesa than the numerons circle of friends who gathered around to coosale their loss, was how such an inferoal, stupid-looking pig-eved heathen got away with the game. ‘The question is oo nearer solution now than when it was first put. and those sports go around looking dejected and feeling oxceedingly cheap.
