Before SHANGRAW, C. J., and BARNEY, SMITH, KEYSER and DALEY, JJ.

SMITH, Justice.

The State alleged that the defendant, Ellen Thomas, is liable for taxes due on her one-half share of property she jointly owned with the deceased, Lena M. Palmer. The Franklin County Court found the passing of the deceased's interest in the jointly held property was a transfer under 32 V.S.A. § 6543, and found Ellen Thomas liable for the taxes claimed due.
