 exeeption of the following drawn by l the former Auditor, George V. Scott, Eaad bearing date the @}th October, 1929, viz: 0De in favor of George

 accountable for, under the act of ls29, ] ientitled 'An act regulating the o8ices 1 of Auditor and Treasurer. 'Fhis may
 be accounted for, reasurablY, in the
 fact oi his blending the appropriations Itogether; in particular, part of spe-I cidc under the head oi contingencies, aud his having overlooked the amount drawn by his predecessor. Your Com

 the head of criminal prosecutions, the
 sum of s333 % cents, on accoants cer-
 ti6ed by tAe Judge of the 4th Circuit.
