 The State Examiner reports as fol lows:
 Tn compliance with the instructions of your predecessor, Governor w. J Stamford. have made a supplementa examination of the books and accounts pf O. s. Tam, ex-Tax Commissioner o1 kiobile County. and respectfully sub- Anit the following report:
 "On my examination of this officc filed March Il, 1901. l reported thai Commissioner Tam was due the State of Alabama, and County of Mobile, the sum of $1,1oS.60; of this amount $7ss las been paid, leaving a balance oi $sl3.60 due. which Judge Price Will Hams, Jr., informs me will be settled
 Tn the third report filed March H. 1901. fully explained the character oi these compromises; that Commissioner Tam was authorized to make for the redemption of lands sold at tax sale in the County of Mobile, and purchased by the State.
 In this supplemental examlHdtlon, find that MT. Tam is due the State oi Alabama and the County of Mobile the sum of $22S77 for compromises made with the following parties for the fol- lowing amounts, to wit: J. Coul Moore, $4.50; Josephine Abner, $lo.4' Mrs. E. J. Mouser. $4S.96; John Dan ner. $5902; John Smith. $1O.6I; and Mrs Mary A. Finnigan. $S7.S9. In addition he is due the sum of S9.15 paid In DS William Water as purchase money Ioi certain lands from the state, makIne n total of $237.92 due. This is the ne' amount due. after deducting MT. Tam lU Der cent commission, as speclIicaliy set forth in Exhibit "A"
 Tn all of these compromises and toI the purchase money in tine case of Will liam Water. MT. Tam gave the parties receipt, copies of which are attacheo marked Exhibit "B."
 On examina ton of the records oi the Probate Court, find that thts money has not been paid to the Pro. bate Judge. l therefore recommend that Mir. Tam be required to pay the said $228.77, the amount due by him or the compromises herein named, and that certificates of redemption be ls- sued to the parties in accordance Wttr the terms of the compromises.
 Tn the case of William Water, recommend that MT. Tam pay the SS:lS purchase money for the purpose speci- fled in the receipt, and that certiti- cate of purchase be issued, If the States interest is satisfied. If the $9.1S is not sufficient for that purpose, rec ommend that it be refunded to the said William Water.'

 When the pleas. motion and demurr- CTS were filed yesterday afternoon, Judge Tarver said he wanted a copy of the decision of the Supreme Court and also a copy of the act passed by the last Legislature defining the juris- diction of the Recorder of Montgom- cry.
 Messrs. Watts and Macdonald as- sured the Recorder that he would be provided with the papers, and MT. Watts added that he understood that it was the purpose of the defendants to sue out a writ of prohibition. He, therefore, asked the Recorder to rem der an opinion as early as possible. as he desired that the opposing law yers should have all the time they de- sired. Mir.
