partial report; and read the regulations
he had made and the bond he had required
from all town agents appointed, the form OF
return required to be made quarterly, and
the list of towns wherein agents were APP
pointed, numbering ten. Several towns
had not asked to have any agent,
and several others had voted not to
have any. Complaint had been made
against the agent in but one instance, and
on investigation the ground of that proved
to be malice The abstract Of the reports
