16. In addition to any other security required to be given by
the County Treasurer, he shall be required by the County Council
at the time of his appointment, or by the Warden, in case the same
shall have been neglected, to give a bond to the Queen, with two
sureties, being freeholders of the County, to be approved by the
County Council or Warden, as the case may be, in the probable
amount of the sum to be raised upon the entire County for
County School purposes, for the faithful discharge of the duties
of his office ; which Bond shall be lodged with the Registrar of
Deeds, and shall, although in terms for one year, unless cancelled or
another Bond be taken, remain a continuing security so long as the
County Treasurer shall remain in office.

bonds under the last preceding Section shall in no case exceed eight
thousand dollars.

any moneys belonging to the County or Parish which may come t«
his hands, excepting moneys (if any) assessed and on hand for re-
demption of Debentures issued by the County or Parish, or for
payment of interest thereon, and shall recoup such money out of any
funds subsequently paid to him on account of the County School
Rate.
