BY law of the state of Illinois, it is required
that every nonresident owning land, whether

grant, Or otherwise, or where the same has

the sale of lands lying within this state,' shall,

enter the same with the Auditor of public ac-
counts, by presenting to him list of his lands,
the quality and class of each tract of the same,
the number of acres in each tract, and the
county in which it is situated. This list must
