I09 mitted until paid, not exceeding the term of two hundred and fifty days, to begin after the expiration of said term of one year. On the 27th day of October, 1883, said VanHouter being then in prison, on said sentence, obtained a writ of habeas corpus and thereafter was remanded back into cus- tody. Said VanHouter, by giving a bond for his appearance, has been at liberty the greater part of the time since pending an appeal to the Court of Appeals taken by him from the order remanding him back to prison ; consequently said fine still remains unpaid. On the 21st day of October, 1884, the Court of Appeals affirmed the order of the Supreme Court, which placed said VanHouter back in said penitentiary, with costs of the appeal in the Court of Appeals. On Nov. llth, 1884, the costs in said matter were taxed at the sum of $101.05 with leave to issue execution therein for the benefit of Tompkins County ; and a transcript of the judgment is now filed and docketed in the Tompkins Clerk's Office, and has not yet been col- lected ; but said judgment is good in my opinion and will be paid. No fines have been paid to me, nor has anything been col- lected by me on forfeited recognizances. CLARENCE L. SMITH, District Attorney. Dated, Nov. 15th, 1884. SHERIFF'S REPORT.

At 12 o'clock, the Board adjourned. AFTERNOON SESSION. Roll call. All present. The committee appointed by tlie Chairman to report on the petition of Edwin Bush made the following report and the same was, on motion of Mr. Chapman, adopted : To the Honorable, the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County: Your committee to whom was referred the petition of Edwin Bush in relation to lands doubly assessed, the same being assessed both in the town of Lansing and in the town of Dryden, would respectfully report as follows : That previous to the year 1871 the statute in regard to a farm or lot lying partly in two towns read as follows : "When the line between two towns or wards divides a farm or lot, the same shall be taxed, if occupied, in the town or ward where the occupant resides ; if unoccupied, each part shall be assessed in the town in which the same shall lie ; and this, whether such division line be a town line only. or be also a county line." 1 R. S, 389 Sec. 4. In the year 1871 the above section was amended as follows : "Section four, title two, chapter thirteen, of the Revised Statutes, in relation to the assessment and collection of taxes, is hereby amended so as to read as fol- lows : SEC. 4. When the line between two towns or wards divides a farm or lot, the same shall be taxed, if occupied, in the town or ward in which the occupant re- sides ; except when such town line shall be also a county line, in which case each part shall be assessed in the town in which the same shall be situate, in the same manner as unoccupied lands are now assessed." Laws of x871 chap. 287, page 565. By the Laws of 1872 this act of 1871 was repealed as follows : SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS. 5f "Chapter two hundred and eighty-seven of the laws of eighteen hundred sev- ty-one, entitled 'An act to amend the law for the assessment and collection of taxes in cases where farms or lots are divided by county lines is hereby re- pealed." Laws of 1872 chap. 355, page 875. We have carefully examined the statutes since 1872 and are unable to discov- er any further legislation upon the subject under consideration. By a decision of the Court of Appeals made in 1876 it was held that the amendment of a statute, by declaring that the same shall read as prescribed by the amendatory act, is not a repeal of the original statute ; but from the time of the passage of the amendatory act, the whole force of the enactment, as to sub- sequent transactions, rests upon it. The former statute is merged in it, has no vitality distinct from it, and can only be referred to as to past transactions. A repeal, therefore, of the amendatory act does not revive the original act, but both fall together. People vs. Supervisors 67 N. Y. 109. Section 4 first above quoted is therefore, in effect abrogated and the town in which the lands in question should be assessed will depend upon the statutes now in force. By section 8 (I R. S, 39o) the assessors are required to ascertain all the taxa- ble property, real and personal, within their respective towns. Sections 11, 12 and 13 (t R. S. 391) prescribe the manner in which the lands of non-residents shall be assessed and described by the assessors of the respective towns in which such lands are situated. By section 2 (z R. S. 389) lands occupied by persons other than the -owner, may be assessed to the occupant, as lands of non-residents, or, if the owner re- sides in the county in which such lands are located, to such owner. Your committee are, therefore, of the opinion:that. as the law now stands,all lands must be assessed in the town or ward in which the same are situated with- out regard to whether the same be a farm or lot divided by a town or county line. They would consequently recommend that the assessment of the 54 acres in ques- tion, situated in the town of Dryden, be, by the proper authority, stricken from the Assessment Roll of the town of Lansing.
