Gentlemen:-Your committee to
whom was referred tbs communica-
ton of Attorney General Wilson, re-
speeding the fines collected by said
county for any breach of the penal
laws of the state, and which the
county treasurer has neglected
to pay into the state treasury, re-
specially report that, owing to the
amount of time necessarily required
by them in doing work upon other
committees, they have not been able
to give that careful examination of
the said claim which it seems to
demand, and would therefore recon-
mend that the same be referred to
&the county treasurer with instruc-
lions to remit the state treasurer the
Emount which he shall find due
