count Of @. CARRIER, Esq, Treasurer Tor
1852.
All OF which have been balanced up and
| settled, az indicated and set forth upon each
and ell Of said statements herwith submitted
and made . part Of this report.
Your committee would state that the ac-
counts and settlement Of, and with, the
Trsasurers Of 1867 and 1878, should
have been examined and balanced up by the
respective Councils Of those years; which,
from some cause, was not done. Hence your
committee found it difficult to arrive ut the
legitimate and correct conclusions in refer
ence to the following items Of difference in
the accounts Of said Treasurers Of 1861
and 1878, to-wit:
There was . difference in the amount of
salary, or per centage, due and claimed by
Charles Parsons, Deputy Treasurer, for the
years 1861; Mr.. Parsons alleging and
claiming that he was entitled to l per cent.
commission on the aggregate amount OF
vouchers, and funds coming into his hands
as Deputy Treasurer, which would entitle
him to credit of 1886 90, as salary and
fees. While on the other hand 1t was claim
ed, on the part Of the Council, that there
was an understanding and oral agreement
between the city and Mr.. Graham, the Trea-
surer elected by tho Council, that the salary
of the Treasurer was not to exceed the sum
of fifty dollars. There being difference Of
opinion and discrepancy among the parties
interested, and there being no record or
written evidence to govern your committee
in this particular--Mr. Parsons insisting
upon his right to withhold the per cent.
commission--your committee consented to
compromise and settlement Of that item,
by the allowance to Mr.. Parsons Of the sum
OF two hundred dollars, as compensation a.
Deputy Treasurer and Treasurer in full be-
lieving this to be preferable to litigation and
further delay in closing up the account Of
that year. This being the only item of con.
troversy in his account, there was left in hi.
hands balance of $499 30-l00 in cash, al
the close Of the fiscal years Of 1867
which balance has been by him retained un.
til the present, and paid over to your com.
mittee in City Scrip, without interest, fol-
the two years-thus closing up the account
Of the year 1867, as per herewith submit
ted, marked A.

Buchanan and the Northern advocates

head to foot with marks Of cruelty. There
were stripes which had healed, were heal
ing, which were beginning to suppurate,
which were in the hight Of suppuration,
and others again fresh as if they had been
inflicted the day previous, a more horid
spectacle It is difficult to imagine. SheW was
