Syllabus

<p>Duty of County Tbeasubbbs.—If a county treasurer, upon his settlement with the Controller of State, is allowed by the latter officer to retain money for official or other services beyond the compensation to which he is entitled, it is his duty to pay such money into the county treasury and turn it over to his successor in office. He cannot claim the money on the ground that the Controller exceeded his authority in making the allowance.</p> <p>What County Tbeasubeb is Estopped to Deny.—If a county treasurer receives money as belonging to the county, he is afterwards estopped from denying that it is the money of the county.</p>
