CHAPTER 491.

Balto. City.

AN ACT to refund to John S. Berry, executor, a certain sum
of money erroneously paid by him to Isaac P. Cook, the
late Register of Wills for Baltimore City, as collateral in-
heritance tax.

Preamble.

WHEREAS, John S. Berry, executor of the last will of John
S. Berry, paid a collateral inheritance tax of two and one-
half per centum on twenty-one thousand two hundred and six
dollars and forty-eight cents, to wit: The sum of five hundred
and thirty dollars and sixteen cents on the distributive share of
Emily H. Berry in the estate of John W. Berry, deceased, to
Isaac P. Cook, the then Register of Wills for Baltimore City,
for the use of the State of Maryland, when, as a matter of
fact, the share of the said Emily H. Berry was not subject to
such collateral inheritance tax, she being a granddaughter
and a lineal descendant of said John W. Berry, and not a col-
lateral, as in the Act of the General Assembly of Maryland of
eighteen hundred and forty-four, Chapter two hundred and
thirty-seven, provided which distributive share was, there-
fore, exempt from said tax, and the payment, therefore,
erroneously made.
