Itll controllilng the multifarious busiess of tlle office,
I have been mel with the most hearty eb -operation e ll
the part of irli Mtariguy, ate Shertiff of this parish,

clerks of the svert l district courtsin which suits have
been bloughtt
I should b- happy to be Rble to say ,"s much in re
gard to the officers of tile inferior or justice's courts.
In them, particlrly onlt the parh f tuyconsutables lately
gone out ,of office 1 have experienced h y1 apathy i re-t.
ard to the colllection of the executions placed inl their
Iaulld-, :lnoutnllng o such a neglect of their duty au ot
te t to make me regret the neceusity of beitlg compelled
to bring suits ill tile justice's courts.
Several of the late constables have friled to pay
over collidetrable sums of money collected by them ol
account of tile city, the exact atloultt of which I have
as yet beeu uuable to aseertain.
1 mtake this suggestion in order to be intruetea by
the Council as to what toursd to pursue ill regard to
them.
On entering upon the discharge of my duties I found
ua large number of suits, instituted by mly hprtdeessor.
for amnouats duc for licenses Drine; pally, against persons
keeping coffee houcg, pendtng, which had then not
3 been tried, not havingllyet beel reached ill their turn,
the defedanlts cuoentesing the tcontltlutiolnality ald

Til firstl of thse cates waus tried ill Jnttle at, before a
