Syllabus

<p>1. County. Bonds. Recoupment for excised territory. Bonds given by a county to tlxe county, out of the ten'itox-y of which it was formed, in payment of its share of the latter’s indebtedness, estimated oix the taxable value of the property taken, are not subject to recoupment for territory given back to the old county by subsequent legislation.</p> <p>2. Same. Change of boundary. Public debt not transferred with territory. A statute which transfers territory from one county to another does not impose a corresponding debt upon the latter unless it so provides, and entitling tlxe legislation an act to “ correct a mistake ” does not affect the question.</p>
