               Marvin Periera Search                                                  
               On or about November 2, 1982, Grove obtained a search                  
          warrant for the home of Marvin Periera (Periera).  Grove, Wilson,           
          Cattalo, and Ryan executed the search warrant.  The officers                
          found marijuana and arrested Periera.                                       
               Respondent asserts that petitioners each received $200 from            
          the Periera search.  Ryan testified that he received $200 from              
          Grove.  He did not testify as to any of the other petitioners.              
          Ryan also testified that two days later Periera offered him money           
          and drugs so as not to be arrested on that occasion.  Periera did           
          not testify.  Based on Ryan's testimony, we find it likely Grove            
          kept at least $200 for himself.  Accordingly, we sustain                    
          respondent's assertion as to the $200 received by Grove.  As                
          there is nothing in the record to indicate that Giongo, Wilson,             
          or Cattalo received any moneys from the Periera search, we do not           
          sustain respondent's assertions as to them.                                 
               Ernest Durkin 1982 Search                                              
               On or about November 4, 1982, Grove, Cattalo, and Ryan                 
          assisted police officers from Bensalem Township, Pennsylvania, in           
          obtaining and executing a search warrant for the home of Ernest             
          Durkin (Durkin) in Bensalem.                                                
               Respondent asserts that petitioners each received $1,200               
          from the Durkin 1982 search.  Durkin did not testify.  Ryan                 
          testified that Grove distributed money to him and Cattalo and
