N In That the items of 1872 40
set TO Mr.. Narsh's credit in
sad the foregoing statements is the
lttee, amount Of his fees,as estimated
} dit by myself ON a basis excluding
and all monies coming into his
! set hands, by reason of the delin-
l the quent lists over and above the
n the county tax; but as will be
seen from an examination of
tnat section 1l5, on page 10 Of
; we the Revised Statutes, the
ment Treasurer is entitled to one
uary, per cent. on all money arising
from sale of lands or other
property belonging to the
county, passing through his
hands and two per cent. on all
other moneys; but on a later
examination of said law my
impression is, that l erred in
Q II making said estimate; but as
we did not succeed in makinga
settlement and as it is more,
y ~ than likely that the duty of
- construing the law in this par
ticular case, will devolve on
I 81 those better qualified, to wit:
the judges Of our Courts, 7
shall merely content myself
with stating the facts and my
own conclusions. We have
found III. Marsh properly
chargeable with $5o9os, l,
and so there did not come into
his hands anything from the
sale of lands belonging to the
county, or other property be-
longing to the Co. 1t is nee
cessary inference that he is en-
titled to two per. cent. on said
sum, to wit: to the sum of

Marsh's favor of ;
and as evidence thatI am cor
rect, reference is made to a
similar occasion in which | I'M
derstand tile accounts Of a for
mer Treasurer, were as closely
scanned as the circumstances
of the Ease would admit, both
debts and credits item by item
on which occasion the law was
so understood both by the
Com.and by the Board Of SUI

said settlement as recorded ON
pages 164 and 1875, of the
records of the proceedings, Of
said Board.
All of which sums in the
aggregate amount to

settlement with Mr.. Marsh,

Supervisors or before a court
of Justice, will in all probahil-

credit, which being deducted
from the aforesaid indebted

But again the'e is another
cla-s of claims: tit appears
from the records shat Mr.
Marsh, claims to have paid to
the state Of the fines and lax

delinquent taxes on state,
school and university lands,
over and above the items refer

M. Marsh credits himself
with the same, and the rec
ords of the settlements with
the Board Of Supervisors,
wherein said claims were al
lowed.
Again, M. Marsh claims
to have disbursed to the
towns of the county on the
certificates issued in 1856: but

discovered the farther sum
of

aggregate to

Marsh to the county, to wit:

able to substantiate SAID claim
on said final settlement.
