five cents, for expenses incurred in conveying a prisoner from
Louisa county to the penitentiary, and the treasurer gave his
check, on the back of said warrant, on the Union bank of
Richmond, for said sum, payable to bearer, and whereas said
warrant was lost or stolen before reaching the bank, and has
never been paid; therefore,

four dollars and seventy-five cents, and that the treasurer be
required to give his check on the back of said duplicate war-
rant for said amount: provided, that said duplicate warrant

hands of a bona-fide holder.
