And Whereas, on mandate proceedings in the Marion Circuit Court to determine questions thereon raised, said Court did give judgement for the sum of $13,158 44, for the number of pages only at ⅔ of a cent per page per copy, the uniform price heretofore paid therefor, embracing the debates and proceedings of the Regular and Special Sessions of the 51st, 52nd and 53rd General Assembly of the State of Indiana, being vols. 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.

Therefore,
