The Board of Supervisors of Herkimer County, in 
 the State of New York, on the 26th day of Ifovember, 
 1872, adopted the following resolution on motion of 
 Mr. Beals of Litchfield : 
 
 "ResolDed, That Clinton A. Moon be, and is hereby author- 
 ized to prepare a suitable number of pamphlets, of convenient 
 form, containing a digest of fees and charges such as are legal 
 claims in all town and county accounts, with brief reference to 
 laws and authorities, and indez complete, charging the same to 
 the county of Hferkimer." 
 
 The following digest was prepared in pursuance of 
 the authority conferred by the foregoing resolution. 
 
 The 2nd Edition having been exhausted, a revised 
 edition seems to be demanded. The errors and omis- 
 sions discovered in the former editions have been cor- 
 rected and supplied, and the changes made in the law 
 up to the present time have been incorporated. 
 
 The references to the Revised Statutes are to the Fifth 
 Edition unless otherwise noted.
