Whereas on the eleventh day of February, eighteen hun-
dred and cighty-six, judgment was obtained in favor of, the
commonwealth against J. J. Henritze, late treasurer of Rus-
sell county, and his sureties, for the sum of two thousand two
hundred and twenty-nine dollars and twenty-eight cents, with
interest and costs as set forth in said judgment; and whereas
the said J. J. Henritze claims that he paid into the office of
the auditor ot public accounts, on account of the revenues of
eighteen hundred and seventy-eight, the sum of five thousand
three hundred and thirty-nine dollars and fifty cents, and
that he had a receipt therefor, which has been lost; and
whereas it is shown that the question as to the absolute cor-
rectness of said claim of payment cannot be definitely deter-
mined on account of the irregularities in said auditor’s office
during the occupancy of William R. Smith, as late chief clerk
in said auditor’s office; therefore,

ruary fourteenth, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, com-
monly known as the Riddleberger bonds in payment of said
judgment, and credit said judgment with the face value of
said bonds.
