below will be found the full report OF Hon.
Benjamin Harris Brewster, Attorney General
OF Pennsy lvania II is an excellent resume OF
all the law proceedings In which the Common
wealth is party In her own interest, and con-
tains proof of the great activity OF that depart
ment. There has been collected, during the
past year, on suits brought, the round sum OF
three hundred and eight thousand four hundred
and seventy dollars. This amount has been
directly realized, while through the successful
conduct of numerous important cases the State
is assured of handsome annual income from
the tax on net earnings OF corporations. The
total expenses of the department for the year
closed amount, rs the report of the Auditor
General shows, to s5939-iess than two per cent
on the collections. This certainly is proof of
activity, and Attorney General Brewster should
receive well-merited praise for the record OF the
work he has accomplished during the year 1868,
