How can I retrieve the mount count for an ext3 volume?

My Ubuntu 8.10 system uses EXT3 for the root filesystem and will 
automatically fschk the volume every 35 mounts.  I haven't been able to 
find out where the mount count is stored or how that data can be 
retrieved. I don't want to change the automated fschk but I'd like to 
display the count so I can anticipate when the volume will be checked.
