Citations

  • 80 Fla. 345
  • 86 So. 244

Syllabus

<p>1. An assessment of range cattle by the Tax Assessor in great-er numbers than owned by the alleged owner and for a higher valuation than such class of personal property was assessed to other owners in the same county, and without inquiry of investigation either as to numbers or value and for the purpose of discriminating against the -alleged owner because he was a non-resident, is void.</p> <p>2. A herd of cattle upon the range the ownership of which is protected in some measure by recorded marks and brands under the law constitutes property of such peculiar character, that a clear remedy does not exist at law for a trespass, which results in scattering many units of the herd over the county to be possessed by other owners of cattle in herds upon common ranges and a practical division of the mark and brand of the owner.</p>
