Chap. 384.—An ACT to Amend and Re-enact Chapter one hundred and
twenty-two of the Acts of 1871-7%, in Relation to the Relief of the
Sureties of William Sample, late Sherif of Russell County. |

In force April 2, 1872.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That the first sec-
tion of an act entitled an act for the relief of the sureties of
William Sample, late sheriff of Russell county, approved Feb-
ruary twenty-eighth, eighteen hundred and seventy-two, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That authority
be given to the auditor of public accounts to suspend the col-
lection of a judgment in the name of the commonwealth
against William Sample, late sheriff of Russell county, and
Aaron H. Nash, Samuel H. Nash and others, his sureties, until
the first day of December, eighteen hundred and seventy-three:
provided, he shall be satisfied that the same is sufficiently se-
cured by the judgment lien; and provided further, that the said
sureties shall pay to the auditor of public accounts the sum of
two thousand dollars on or before the first day of May, eighteen
hundred and seventy-three, to be placed as a credit upon the
claim held against said sureties by the commonwealth. But
nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the
auditor from collecting the debt whenever he may think proper
to do so. Nothing in this act shall be construed to release
William Sample from his responsibility.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
