III me hands Of notaries public ami
clerks OF courts - and the other en-
ilued A bill to provide for the pay
meht OF money into the Treasury by
check or certificate Of deposit" >" which,
II passed, will relieve the Auditors
ouice from the trouble Of keeping ac-
counts and settling with notarie;
public, whose average annual pay.
ments are very small, and will in
sure prompt and accurate returns from
anG settlements with clerks Of courts
ana Will also allow the payment O
money into the Treasury by a simple
ana more convenient method than thai
now prescribed, and at the same time
throws around such payments more
eilectual safeguards against loss than
those provided for in the existing laws.
Suggestions have already been made
as 10 delinquent lands and old claims
on tlle in the Auditors office.
Your committee are Of opinion that
some properly-guarded act should be
passed giving credit for payments shown
by satisfactory evidence to have been
made into the Auditors office and
lost therein. The fact that such paw
mentS were habitually made for many
years past must have been known. a,
matter Of general information, to the
legislative and executive departments
OF the government, and no objection
having been made to what had thus be-
come the usual course of business. il
wOuld now be matter Of great hardship
to many innocent parties to require
them to make good their payments lost
through long-trusted officer Of the
State.
To this end your committee suggest
that if the two books herewith return
ed, showing the accounts stated of the
clerks and banks, be made by law, so
far as they show complete statement
of such accounts, part Of the records
Of the Auditors Office, asd all the pay
mentS therein set forth ~ having been
made into the Auditors Office, or other
wise be recognized a. valid, The par
ties making such payments would be
relieved and proper basis given for
continuing their accounts in the proper
form.
Your committee also suggest that il
would he advisable to pass some bill
making it mandatory upon the Auditor
10 enter a charge against every debtor
Of the Commonwealth upon some book
kept for the purpose at once upon the
receipt Of evidence showing the amount
due by such debtor, wm,h account
should be properly balanced upon pay
ment being made. This has been done
during the administration Of the pre-
sent Auditor, but a general law wolll
be desirable for future contingencies.
Respectfully submitted.

corporation is herewith returned. Thi.
will not be ordered to be printed by
the committee on account Of its great
length. the details Of it not being con-
sidered important.
The Auditor Is continuing to make
additional collections on these arrear-
ages, and more will he realized there
from.
As before stated. no systematic at
tempt seems 10 have been made for
years TO have regular settlements with
these debtors Of the Commonwealth or
to enforce the payment Of what might
be due by them.
ALLOWANCES DUE CLERKS.
There were found among the papers
lately in charge of William K. Smith
allowances for claims due by the State
in favor Of or assigned to clerks Of
courts to the amount Of sl0,S42.7l,
dated subsequent to the year 1876.
These claims were sent to the Office by
the clerks to be credited TO their ac-
counts. This could only legally be
done by having warrants drawn for the
same and collecting the money thereon.
and depesiting the money to the clerks
credit. They seem, however, to have
been treated or allowed to stand as
credits to the clerks, without having
been entered on any account with them.
1t would hardly be practicable now
to return checks for these claims (of
which there are very large number
TO the clerks, and have the money col
lected on them from the Treasury and
then placed again in the Treasury to
their credit. Your committee. there
fore suggest that they be retained and
allowed by an act of the General A.
senbly to stand or be entered a, credits
to the proper parties.

THE WYTHEVILLE CASE.
Attention may be called to another
instance of defalcstion on his part in
the salary Of Joseph W. Caldwell,
clerk Of the Court Of Appeals at Wythe-
vile. Mr.. Caldwell was entitled to a
salary as such clerk Of $500 per an
mum. In 1873 he authorized William
X. Smith to draw his salary, for the pur-
pose Of placing it to his credit on ac-
count OF taxes on law process, &c,
due by him. On the 2Sth day Of Oc-
tOber, 1882, Smith drew S3.335.3s Of
this salary and put to Caldwell's credit
certain checks belonging to other par
ties and amounting to s3,33l.S0, and
on the 1Sth day Of September. 1888.
he drew l,4G0 more of this salary,
but made no deposit to Caldwoll's
credit.
II should be stated here that owing
to these Developments the practice of
issuing warrant, or rather a check on
the back Of a warrant, payable to bear
er, has been discontinued by the Trea-
surer, and such checks are now drawn
payable to the order Of the party enti-
tied.
