pect to arrearages in Iowa Territory, for

addressed, on the same subject, to the Sec.
A|s"' "a ITO AIG0suIys WHO referred IL TO

you to transmit proper abstracts Of all su ch
Judicial expens e. 10 this Department, that
they may be examined. ~ they will be
promptly, and funds Immediately sent to
you, with directions to pay the proper per.
sons, the amounts which should be discharg.
ed out OF the Judicial appropriations.
The abstracts which you may furnish
should be 80 full, as to enable me to deter
mine. whether the bills OF costs, or ex pen.
ses therein mentioned, are payable out Of
the Judicial appropriation-the revenue, or
by the ?. 0. Department: all bills for ser.
vices rendered, or supplies furnished. should
be not only examined and allowed oy the
Judge. but certified by the Clerk, according

forfeitnrcs, which fail-must be certified
by the Judge-or, the Officer instituting the
same must pay the costs &c: but, when

ndrily on their avals--and, only, in case
these are insufficient on the revenue, or

be-"
1t will be seen by all those concerned,

will DO paid until proper abstracts and
vouchers properly certified, are forwarded
to the Department, ..y tho Marshal.
Finding it impossible at this Indictment
season Of the year to visit al the counties
without producing much delay, l have
thought proper to request the Clerks Of the

due, to make out in proper form duplicate
abstracts. and vouchers, for arreareges that
