have examined carefully the memorial of William l. W Wo0dUh, within mentioned, and, knowing inc facts, IS therein stated, 10 be true, III all things material to show the true ground of his claim 10 relieI-! have no doubt that he is, upon the souades principles of equity, entiiled 10 relief in the premises at the hauGs of the Legislature i portion of he services rendered by him, were, in my opinion, unquestionably eXtsa-O ieal--as well as onerous and expensive, and certainly not such as were contemplated as deYelving upon him as Treasurer of the Sase, when the salary forsaea 0 iiear was ptescsibel b. law, ia 1833. allale here b the services reade.e by hia, in procuring for the S'ate her Iuoia of lhe surplus revelue, distributed to, and deposited by, the government Of the United Sajes, with this Sia,e, and teanspos- ting the same from places beyond the limits thereof

 in addition, deem t worthy of remark, that the Legislature never did, by direct en- acmeni, specially repeal the law allowing the Treasu CT ten per cent of the amount paid for the redemption of Lands iofleilei for the non-payment of taxes. The repeal of that law was by implication only. Such per cent. was therefore considered, at that time, by every one, as perquisite of said office

 The nemorialst, therefore, is, as it ap- pears to me, most clearly untitled to relief. which. according to the existing laws he can not obtain; and trust justice will not be de uied to him.
