the justices of the peace, of various
districts, ordinary, tax collector and
receiver sheriff and clerk of the court
ana flld them al neatly and correctly
kept.
The comparing Of books of the ordi-
nary and tan collector with reference
10 the special tax or licenses, we find
severA who have taken out licenses
or paid the taxes, but failed to register
with the Ordinary. In most every in
stance We fine this was due to ignor-
ance on the past of the party paying
tie taxes, with reference to the law
requiring registration with the ordi-
nary.

gard to these special licenses, and
that no license be issued without sat
isfactcry proof Of registration.
