dred and fifty-one, as tax on his office, as provided

two hundred and fifty-three, the sum of one hun-
dred dollars, and it also appears to the General

framers of that instrument to provide a new mode
and abolish the old method of raising a revenue
from said offices, and that the party aforesaid has,
under a misapprehension, paid into the Treasury
the said sum of money, and it being right and just
that the balance due him should be refunded ;
therefore,
