The only question in this case is, whether the land of Richardson, the defendant in error, lying in another town than that in which he dwells, is exempted from taxation by force of the statute. We suggested our opinion upon this question, in the last action of Turner vs. The Parish of Burlington. Nor do we see occasion to alter the opinion then thrown out. We cannot limit the exemption to a tax on the person. Indeed, * the [ * 215 ] tax upon the land in another town is as much a tax upon the person, as a tax upon the land in the town in which the owner dwells.
Judgment affirmed
