There were no recognizances forfeited during the year and no collections on forfeited recognizances made. There are, however, two cases where the judgments on forfeited recognizances have been obtained for the sum of $300 in each case, both of which have been taken to the District Court by defendants, on error to the Common Pleas, and both of which will, in all probability be decided in favor of the State and collected.
