certificate of Judge Cook, who is er-o1cio
Auditor Of the Accounts of Scott County, in
order TO show, that, as far as the County is
concerned, it is impossible that could be
defaulter.

will be readily perceived that there can be
no defalcation to the county arising from
these transactions In all cases in which
the Sheriff becomes responsible to individu-
ais, the time of settlement is fixed by the
law. The following certificate will show
how my account with the county actually
stands:
