This revenues, which practically vary from year to year, are not kept.

Any increase shown will be attributed to those responsible for its collection.

After perusing the Accounts contained in a Statement drawn up by the Collector, it appears that the total Annual Revenue from the anticl duties of law bureau amounts to $376,489 or $522.

A sum of $207 £5,000 is collected by the jurisdictional magistrate and his underlings, but aside from that, he collects revenue from his own pocket, and as he is the jurisdictional magistrate, he naturally takes every precaution to prevent, as far as he can, any information regarding the amount actually raised from being made public. It has been extremely difficult to ascertain with any accuracy what amount is actually raised. During my last visit to the town, I had some time to investigate the matter, and I was able to obtain a portion of the information required to furnish a Statement, which may fairly be regarded as an account of the revenue raised annually.
