Approved March 19, 1926.

1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
twenty-one hundred and sixty-five of the Code of Virginia, as hereto-
ore amended, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 2165. Moneys may be paid into treasury by check, et
cetera.—Any public officer or other person having to pay money into
the treasury may make such payment by delivering to the auditor of
public accounts a certificate of deposit, or a check drawn, or endorsed
payable to the treasurer of Virginia, or his order, on some bank in this
State, or in the cities of Baltimore and New York, or a draft drawn by
some bank in this State, or in the cities of Baltimore or New York on
some other bank in this State, or of the cities of Baltimore or New
York. Immediately upon the receipt of any such certificate of de-
posit, check, or draft, the auditor shall cause the amount of the same,
with a sufficient description thereof, to be entered to the credit of the
person indebted; and should any check, draft, or certificate of deposit
not be paid on presentation, the amount thereof, with all costs, shall
be charged to the person to whose credit it was placed, and his liability
and that of his sureties, except the additional liability for costs, shall
be as if he had never offered any such check, draft, or certificate of
deposit.
