The Sheriff is pressing the people fOI
their taxes, and Of course. there is eonsid
cradle grumbling. The sheriff ought mol
to be blamed. The County Court has de
iermined 10 change the former practice Of
allowing him three or four years To collect
and settle, and has ordered him to collect
and account for all the taxes Of 1851, b,
the fourth Monday in July next. For hi.
own protection, therefore, he is compelled
to press the people. Certainly, he will
never be able to squeeze money out Of them
unless he does press them. That stand.
