He doutted whether the col- | lector had any authority in the premises. He, therefore, was iu favor of the resolution as in | troduced. Mr. Dyer said hehad something to do in form- ing the tax lien bill, and it was certainly under- | stood that the bill included old taxes. The col- | lector had not replied explicitly to the resolution | of the House, and had not cited the law, and as apecered to him, he was acting without law.

Mr. Hunt said if the District had to pay the taxes he favored putting the taxes on burial ground.
