"Index" says:
Upon examination OF the acts Of Assem-
bly,, authorizing the sale of lands in the
Commonwealth, of deliEquents for non.pay.

that there is no prohibition against sherifs
receiving coupons of State bonds in pay
payment of tax titles, as some have thought.
It is estimated that the whole amount due
the State for taxes from 1855 to date is not
less than 81, 100, 900. perhaps good deal
more, and considerable portion of this will
be realized for the benefit of the Treasury
in coupons for money"
