Increase of payments made by Clerks of Circuit Courts

$12,877 79

During the year ended on the first day of December, 1851,
there was received, into the Treasury from the Clerk of the late
Baltimore County Court and the Clerk of the late City Court,
$114,639.03, and during the last fiscal year there was paid $101,-

Stamp Duties; Tax on Plaintiffs within the jurisdiction of the
Superior Court; Tax on Civil Commissions, and Tax on Com-
missions of Trustees and Receivers. The Clerk of the Cir-
cuit Court of Baltimore County has accounted for and paid over
a larger amount of revenue than hag been received from any
other Circuit Court Clerk in the State, excepting the Clerk of
the Circuit Court of Frederick County; and there can be no
doubt, but that the full contribution of Baltimore County has
been received. The apparent discrepancy in the receipts from
the Clerk of the Superior Court, is, perhaps, susceptible of a
satisfactory solution.
One cause of defciency,applicable to this office, and common to
all the Baltimore Clerks, will be found in the fact, that the an-
nual tax upon the office, has not been paid ; for the reason that
the Legislature, having failed to apportion the tax paid by the old
