to the comptroller of the State; and the register shall thereupon
set apart and pay the tax aforesaid, and deduct the same from the
interest as aforesaid; but the said register shall not be required to
set apart and pay over the said tax on any part of said stock loans
which he may satisfy the comptroller by a certificate to that
effect, signed by the appeal tax court, or by other satisfactory

the tax may become due, by any person entitled under the laws
of this State to hold the same free from taxation.
