As all crimes and breaches of the peace are considered as committed against the state, and prosecuted in its name, this attorney is sometimes called state's attorney. In some states there is a county-surveyor, whose duties within his county are similar in their nature to those of a state surveyor-general.

In the second boat was the Surveyor-General and Dr. Anthony Nash, and in the third the overseer, and among the rowers of this last was Godfrey Landless. As they neared the bank their occupants saw that the usual sleepy evening stillness was not upon the village above them.

With Captain Roe, a companion of King's, with whom he was speared and nearly killed by the natives of Goulburn Island, in 1820, and who afterwards became Surveyor-General of the colony of Western Australia, the list of Australia's early explorers may be said to close, although I should remark that Augustus Gregory was a West Australian explorer as early as the year 1846.
To the Senate of the United States: I have reason to think that the rejection of Silas Reed as surveyor-general of Illinois and Missouri on the evening of the last day of the session of the Senate at the last session of Congress was founded in a misapprehension of facts, which, while it deprived the public of the services of a useful officer, left him to suffer a considerable degree of injustice in his reputation.
