those who neglected to make report for 1861, I have, during the past year, 1862, caused written notices of such neglect, in every instance, to be sent by mail to the County Treasurer of the respective counties, as required by sec. 184, page 141, 1st vol. comp. laws, but as no special provision seems to have been made directing such County Treasurer to cause a prosecution to be instituted to recover the penalty in such case provided in sec. 397, page 203, 1st vol. comp. laws, it is probable that many of them wholly neglect to see that the penalty is collected, and hence some of the Prosecuting Attorneys may have become less attentive to their duties in this respect. I herewith transmit a schedule containing an abstract of all the annual reports of the several Prosecuting Attorneys for their respective counties, that have been made to this office for the year 1862, being from thirty-eight counties. From the other counties of the State no report for said year has been received. All of which is respectfully submitted. CHARLES UPSON, Attorney General. BRANCH COUNTY. JOHN W. TURNER, Pros. Att'y.
