1149. CARRIAGES, Tax on.—
Almost
every carriage owner has been taken in for a
double-tax; information through the newspapers
not being actual, though legal, in a
country where they are little read. This circumstance
has made almost every man, so
taken in, a personal enemy to the tax. I escaped
he penalty only by sending an express
over the country to search out the officer the
day before the forfeiture would have been incurred.—
To James Madison.
