Witness might have reported at some time during the two years on some polats to the system as being defective or not as complete in the matter of check as they might be, but he could not say just now; he had records of such thlage in his office.

His duties were to prepare receipts as requested when payments were made, to pass receipts and counteífolls The shroff, who entered them in a Chinese hook, and then returned the counterfoils to defendant, to post te dally collection book therefrom, and also to write up the Treasury rent roll.
