Court of Claims of Illinois

Decided September 16, 1924

Court of Claims of Illinois · decided 1924-09-16

Decided 1924-09-16

Mr. Justice Phillips

¶1delivered the opinion of the court:

¶2The claimant, Anna M. Morris, executrix of last will and testament of Louis Morris, deceased, on petition to county judge of Cook County, had the inheritance tax fixed, amounting to $3215.59, less the usual statutory 5% discount, allowed, making a net tax of $3054.81, which she paid to the State.

¶3An appeal was regularly presented from such order to the county court, which upon a hearing, re-assessed and fixed amount to be paid to be $2847.01, less 5%, leaving $2704.66, which findings show that claimant erroneously paid to the defendant $350.15, which amount the Attorney General admits is just and should be refunded.

¶4The court accordingly awards claimant the sum of $350.15.
