Syllabus

<p>Interlineation in Written Contract.—If the owner of a horse delivers him to another party in pledge to secure the payment of a debt, and the parties contract in writing that the pledgee may keep the horse one year, paying for his use a stipulated sum, and may further keep him a second year upon the same terms, by giving proper notice of his election to do so, and the copy of the contract kept by the pledgee is interlined the next day hy consent of parties so as to allow the pledgee to keep the horse two years more, instead of one, and the owner afterwards sells the horse and contract to a third party, and the pledgee gives notice of his election to keep the horse one year more, and at the end of that time accepts from the purchaser the money due from the pledgee, these circumstances are evidence that the pledgee regarded the original contract as binding.</p> <p>License to do Business not a Tax.—A license paid to keep a stallion is not a tax upon his assessed value.</p>
