Charls Dunn, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
Territory, and presiding Judge of the District court of Du Buque
County, having examined the Schedule of the inhabitants of said
County, returned by the Sheriff thereof, and satisfied that from the
dispersed situation of the inhabitants of said County, the sum of
three dollars per hundred is not a sufficient compensation.
Therefore, the said Sheriff has my approbation to charge an addition
two dollars per hundred inhabitants. Chas Dunn Chf: Jus: & Pres. In
