dicted by tie grand jury at the
Decembe term of the Highland
county court, on the charge of
irregularities in his land and proper
tv books and for failure to complete

for hearing on the 23rd of Deer.
which trial resulted in the finding
Of Mr.. Campbell not guilty of the
charge preferred.against him.
The decision of the Justice and
bis reasons therefor, are as follows:
Upon a trial of the within indict-
ment, this 23rd day of Dec. 1903,
the defendant, w p Campbell, is
found not guilty as charged. and is
discharged. for reasons appearing
sufficient to the Justice. among

appears from the evidence. LIST, that
the assessment blanks were not
furnished to the com missioner till
some time in May. End, that the
land and property books were not
received by him till about July 1st,
thus making it impossible for him
to complete the books by the time
prescribed by law: 3rd, that owing
to an order of the Board of Super
yisors, made Sept. II. 1908. revok
ing former order as to manner OF

payment of taxes, it appears that
the commissioners in the State
generally have not been able to re-
turn their books to the treasurers
in time for the latter to make out
the tax tickets by Dec. LIST, because
the blanks Of assessment and the
blank property books were not sent
to said commissioners at the usua
times; and 9Th, that said books have
now been completed by the said "
P Campbell, and returned as re-
uuired by law.
