People v. Byrd
Illinois Supreme Court
Appeal from the County Court of Cook county; the Hon. John E. Owens, Judge, presiding.
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Vickers
George H. Byrd, a resident of New York, died testate leaving $74,071.54 of personal property subject to the Inheritance Tax law of this State. The present appeal is prosecuted by the executors of the last will of the testator from an order of the county court finding that $15,590.68 of said estate was liable to an inheritance tax of $155.91. The State, by the Attorney General, has assigned cross-errors which raise the question whether the court did not err in refusing to hold that the amount of the inheritance ^tax should be $355.91 instead of the amount fixed by the court.
