Statement from the lists for each district was sent from Kragujevac to the district court in Sabac; the court forwarded them to each individual district chief and the chiefs to village judges. The number of houses and taxpayers in the Sabac district for the half-year of 1835 somewhat differed from the number of houses in the summary statement of the census of 1834.
