SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1849. Tnc Rkvenue Law. As much doubt exists in the minds of those whoK duty it is to take the taxes, as tm the proper construction of the 7th eection of the Revenue Act of the recent session, wc take pleasure in laying before our readers the following opinion of B. F . Moore, Esq. the Attorney General of the State, on this subject: Raleigh, May 9th, 1849. Sir: You have requested my opinion on the proper construction of the 7th sec tion of the act passed at the recent session of the Legislature, entitled, "an act to in crease tHe Revenue of the State." The question ydu present arises on the proviso. found at the conclusion of that section, and is whether that proviso extends to the whole act; and if not, to how much thereof. I am of opinion that the proviso extends to the entire 7th section and to each and every subject of taxation therein specified, and that it extends to no other part of the act. If the proviso was as is alleged by ome intended to be less extensive than the whoe of the 7th section, I am unable to perceive that intent in the language of the law. Very respectfully, Your obdt.servt. 13. F. MOORE. I Hinton, Esq. Public Treasurer. The Attorney General is of the opinion that the Proviso (which, it is supposed, was intended only to apply to playing cards,) extends to the entire 7th section, and to each and every subject of taxation therein specified; and that it docs not ex lend to any other part of the act. The 7th section of the Revenue Law is as follows: Sec 7. And le it further enac ted, That hereafter there shall be imposed and levied annually a tax upon ihe fol lowing articles to wit: On all gold and silver plate in use by the owner or owners thereof, in value fifty dollars, and rot ex ceeding in value five hundred dollars, four dollars: On all pleasure carriages in use by the owner or owners thereof, with four na.' of which a number frave l&eiroas&ii lift;' 11 Is &m!Tr Searct it df$i; && I&xii Virginia by a man named Madison, tn the ly atter hia horse fan ftorney wun -a.- purchase of negroes, horses, &c.
