3 Geo. 4. c. 126.

(1) By 3 Geo. 4. c. 126. (sec. 76.) the trustees and commissioners of every turnpike road are required to take sufficient security for every treasurer to be appointed by them, under any act for making, repairing, or maintaining any turnpike road, for the due and faithful execution of his office, before he shall enter upon his said office, and shall also, if they shall think proper, take such security from any other officer to be appointed under any such act.

(see supra, n. (1)) nothing is provided in this respect, nor does a bond of this latter kind appear to be within the general exemption of the stamp act of 55 Geo, 3. c. 184.
