5th. The petition of Edward Corb,
showing by his statement, and not supper
ted by evidence, that he is taxed for eighty
acres of land, while survey of the same
land shows only fifty eight acres. This
being case that should be acted upon and

sonal property tax appearing against the

dious and perplexing examination of as
