In the United States circuit court for the
eastern division of the western district
Of Missouri.
Francis A. Crook. relator, against La
fayette county court, respondent.
Respondents, John A. Prather, James
w. Harrison and John A. Lockhart,
who compose the said county court, for
amended return to the order herein state
that ON the second day of May. A. D.,
1881, they made the regular annual
levy of taxes in said Lafayette county.
and the writ herein was not issued until
the fourth day of said month. That
the writ commands the levy to be made
at the time OF the next annual levy
which will not occur until the first day
OF May. 1882. Your respondent beg the
court to allow them to withdraw their
return heretofore made at this term OF
this court. and allow this to be filed In
its stead. Your respondents again would
relterate the statement'that they enter
tam the greatest respect for this court.
and feel grateful Tor the leniency shown
them. That the position they occupy is
a hard n indeed, and the duties and
responsibilities resting upon them are
grave and difficult of solution. That
there are several townships In their
county most oppressivelY burdened with
debts for which they have received no
return whatever. That the only practi-
cal solution OF the difficulties is a COM
promise with their creditors. That there
are now movements or foot looking to-
ward that end, and they verify believe
that II time is allowed the whole matter
can be satisfactorily adjusted. That
their presence at home 10 necessary to
forward the work of compromise. That
they pledge themselves TO this court
that they will use their best endeavors
to bring aoopt a settlement of these
debts, that will be acceptable to all con-
cerned. That as. the county is assessed ut
present, 1t is almost a physical impossi-
bilIty to levy a tax On the personal
property OF any township. as the names
OF the taxpayers are arranged on the
tax books alphabetically, without any
indication of the township in which they
reside, aud that it will require the as
sessment to ~particularize the residence
OF the tax payers before the lax Can be
carried U Oh the a. books as required
by this court. Your respondents re-
| s%pectfully ask to be discharged from
custody, and to be allowed until the next
regular term OF this court 10 make a
proper return to the proceedings against
them by which time they confidently
believe the matter will be amicably set
tied. That il q satisfactory return is
not made to this vol at the mex term
thereof, they will submit themselves
voluntarily in person, subject to the
order of this court.
