Chap. 102.—An ACT allowing William H. Bloxom, treasurer of Acco-
mack county, time to make his return of delinquents and insolvents
in the revenue of 1875.

Approved February 26, 1877.

Whereas, by the twenty-eighth section of the act prescrib-
ing the duties, powers, liabilities, and compensation of certain
county officers, providing for the collection of taxes, and for
the repeal of chapters thirty-seven and forty-six ot the Code
of eighteen hundred and seventy-three, approved March
twenty-ninth, eighteen hundred and seventy-five, as amended
by the act approved March twenty-ninth, eighteen hundred
and seventy-six, the treasurers of the several counties of the
commonwealth are allowed to be credited by the auditor of
public accounts with the amount of delinquents and insol-
vents uncollected by them, if the return thereof be presented
at his office within three months next after the final. settle-
ment of their accounts, but not otherwise; and whereas Wil-
liam H. Bloxom, the treasurer of Accomack county, did not
thake the said return within the time so prescribed, on ac-
count of the failure of the county court to certify the same;
bat presented it a short time thereafter, which under the law
the auditor was prohibited to receive; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That the said
treasurer shall be, and is hereby, ailowed until the twenty-.
fifth of April, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven, to make
retarn of his said delinquent and insolvent lists for the year
eighteen hundred and seventy-five; and if made out and cer-
tiled according to law by that time, the auditor of public
sccounts is hereby authorized to allow the proper credit
therefor in the final settlement of the accounts of said trea-
surer.

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