Petersburg and Roanoke railroad company, which was trans-
ferred to the city of Petersburg by act passed March thirteenth,
eighteen hundred and forty-nine, before the date of such trans-
fer; and if so, whether such accrued and unpaid dividends fol-

not, he is hereby required to institute the proceedings neces-
sary to recover any amount due the state.
