Chap. 101.—JOINT RESOLUTION authorizing Auditor of Public
Accounts, at his discretion, to Suspend Legal Proceedings on Official
Bond of James M. Corbitt, late Treasurer of Southampton County.

Approved February 18, 1875.

Whereas James M. Corbitt, late treasurer of Southampton
county, had deposited in First National Bank, Norfolk,
money belonging to the state, which he had collected, to the
amount of two thousand nine hundred and eighty-three dol-
lars and eighty-six cents; and the said bank suspended pay-
ment in May, last year, and its affairs placed in the hands of
a receiver, rendering it impossible for said treasurer to ob-
tain any of such funds, only as the affairs of the bank are
settled up by said receiver; therefore,
1. Be it resolved (the senate concurring), That the audi-
or of public accounts may, at his discretion, suspend legal
yroceedings on the official bond of Corbitt until first Janu-
ry, eighteen hundred and seventy-six: provided however,
bat any dividends the said bank may declare, during the
rear eighteen hundred and seventy-five, shall be paid by said
-orbitt over to auditor of public accounts, to his credit; and
srovided further, that this resolution shall not go into effect
intil the consent of the sureties of said Corbitt, on his offi-
“ial bond, shall be filed for record with the clerk of the
county court of Southampton county, and a copy of such
consent is forwarded to the auditor of public accounts.
