8 Kan. 565 | Kan. | 1871
The opinion of the court was delivered by
A single question is presented by the record and that is, in what county should certain property belonging to plaintiffs be listed for taxation. The facts are these: Plaintiffs all reside in Douglas county. They had a stock of goods in Burlington, Coffey county. The goods were in charge of Jacob A. Mareell, a clerk of theirs, for purposes of sale. They listed this property in Douglas county, and paid the taxes on it. Without their knowledge, consent, or authority, Mareell listed it in Coffey county, and the taxes not being paid a warrant issued to the sheriff of Coffey county. To restrain a levy under this warrant this action is brought.
