p. c., DIR.
10 interest on money advanced to NEE
county orders outstanding ON the genera
fund, issued by the county court, foI
which orders there was no availabi,
money to pay same, $I75.
The statute above referred to leaves
nothing to be assumed, it states plainl,
that interest shall be paid and at TN,
rate at which it shall be paid, and i'm
plicates plainly to whom it shall be paid
it fully instructs the sheriff as TO hi
duty, and had that duty been faithful,
performed no occasion would have ariser
for the allowance OF payment of tn,
above memorandum bill, which from III
face would hardly be deemed sufficient
evidence as a base for allowance by !
court for iDserest Ia any case. No amount.
elapsed time or rate Of interest benz
shown whatever. Further, had the in.
terest collected ON the taxes been &C.
counted for, II is probable that no short.
age of funds would have occurred.
