Summary

Portrait of Morrison Waite Morrison Waite Erskine v. Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Company…

We think that the Circuit Court was right in holding that the only penalty to which the company was liable for default under sect. 122 of the internal revenue act of June 30, 1864, 13 Stat. 284, as amended July 13, 1866, 14 id. 138, was that of $1,000 specially provided for in that section. The penalty of five per cent and interest at the rate of one per cent per month, apply only to cases of default in the payment of duties upon incomes imposed by sect.
