Heavy tax

 

--The Legislature, at its last session, passed a law imposing a tax of ten cents a head on each person admitted to any place of amusement for pay. Under this law Mrs. E. Magill, owner of the Marshall Theatre, was called upon, a few days since, to pay $6,262.40, as tax on thirteen weeks pertormances at the Theatre. The law being expost facto in its operation, and not going into operation until the 1st of May, the money was paid under protest.
