ments paid into the Treasury by the late Clerk of

tanned information Of interest to the public, and

receipts proper of the Office for term of nineteen
months, while the returns of Mr.. Norwood, the
present Clerk of the Court Of Common Pleas,
compared the receipts Of his office for term Of
but eleven months, and close examination of
the two returns exhibited the fact that Mr.. Nor
woods payments into the Treasury for eleven
months exceeded the amount of Mr.. Gatchell' S
returns for thirteen months by S4,217 10. As
these facts, at the present time, were of import
ance to the public, he moved that report of the
