interest thereon, payable annually, have since been paid in full by him, according to the terms of said sale; and that the said is entitled to receive from the State of Ohio a deed in fee simple for said premises, on presentation of this certificate to the proper officer or officers. Said prem ises are described as follows, to wit: (Here insert description in full.)

County

Deed from the state.-The auditor of state, upon the filing of any such final certificate in his office, must make out a draft of a deed for the lands, and deliver the same, with the final certificate, to the governor of the state, whose duty it is to sign the deed, and cause the same to be sealed with the great seal of the state, and delivered to the grantee on demand. 1435.

Excess of money on delinquent sale to go to owner.— All cxcess of moneys made on any sale of delinquent lands, after paying the sums due, with interest and costs, must be paid on demand to the delinquent owner, his heirs or assigns, from the county treasury, on the order of the auditor, if the demand be made within one year from the time of sale, and if not so demanded, it must be paid into the state treasury; and unless demanded within one year after it has been paid into the state treasury, it must be applied to the same uses that the lands are subject to. 1436.

Fees. The fees for services in and about such sales and surrenders are as follows: For petition, the same as are allowed for similar services in proceedings in partition. The auditor is entitled to one dollar and fifty cents on each sale made by him, fifty cents for each certificate, six cents for each receipt, to be paid by the purchaser, and the same fees for recording as are allowed county recorders, to be paid out of the first money paid in as interest or rents on such salc

or surrender. All printers' fees for advertising must be paid out of the county treasury, on the order of the aud itor, and refunded out of the first money received on the sale, from interest or rents. In case of a petition by the trustees, the costs in court must be paid out of the county treasury, on the order of the auditor, and rounded out of the first money received from the sale as interest or rents. In case of a petition by a lessee, all costs must be paid by him. 1437.

Ministerial lands may be sold in the same manner --Tho lands granted by Congress for religious purposes, known as section twenty-nine, may be sold, or the permanent leases thereto surrendered, in the same manner as school lands, and the proceedings must be the same as above set forth. 1438.

Money paid into the state treasury from the sale of section twenty-nine constitutes part of the irreducible debt of the state, of which the state auditor is required to keep an account with each original township, and the county auditor is required to draw his warrant for the amount of interest due each original township in the county, as certified by the state auditor, after the February settlement of each year. The money is to be distributed by the trustees in the manner provided for distributing the rents and profits of such lands. 86 Laws, 206.

As to certain townships in Ohio Company's purchase.-Sections 16 and 29, or lands granted in lieu of either, may be sold, or permanent leases thereto surrendered, as above set forth, in the following original surveyed townships of the Ohio Company's purchase, to wit: Township 8, in range 12; township 7, in range 13; township 11, in range 14; township 13, in range 15; and townships 8, 9, 10. 11, 12, and 13, in range 16; and any lessees of such lands may have the benefit of the law for the surrender of such leases, though their leases be for a less term than ninety-nine years. 1439.

The trustees of any original surveyed township owning land granted by Congress for the support of common schools, may make application to the county commissioners and file the petr tion and bond required by statute to secure the construction of a county ditch. 4450, as amended, 82 Laws, 96.

THE RELIEF OF THE POOR.

SECTION 1. SETTLEMENT AND REMOVAL.

Relief when to be furnished.-The trustees are required to furnish sapport or relief, at the expense of the township, to all persons therein who may be in condition requiring the same, subject to the following conditions and limita

tions: 1491.

'The legal settlement of a minor is in the township where his father resides, and by no act of his own can he, while a minor, obtain a legal settlement elsewhere. Jefferson Tp. v. Letart Tp, 3 Ohio, 100.

The mother of an infant pauper, settled in one township, doe not change the infant's legal settlement by marrying a second husband, settled in another township, and there residing without the infant pauper. 5 Ohio, 316.

When a new township is formed, paupers having residence within its territorial limits are chargeable upon it, though be fore charged upon the entire township, from which it is taken, in whole or in part. Pike Tp. v. Union Tp., 5 Ohio, 528, overruled; Center Tp. v. Wills Tp., 7 Ohio, 172.

In order to gain a legal settlement in a township, the person must reside therein, continuously, openly, and notoriously, for the period of one year. Henrietta Tp. v. Brownhelm Tp., 3 Ohio, 76.

In order to obtain a settlement in a township, the fact of resi dence is not sufficient, unless attended with the intention, on the part of the resident, of making such township his place of abode. Henrietta Tp. v. Oxford Tp., 2 Ohio St. 32.

When a person has obtained a settlement in a township, that settlement is not lost by his residing in another township for a

Conditions of settlement.-Every person has obtained a legal settlement in any county of the state, in which he

year, if his residence in such township is attended with an intention of returning to the former township. Ibid.

If a person removes from this state to another, with the inten tion of remaining, and, while there, exercises the right of suf frage, and acquires a residence and settlement, his settlement in this state is lost, and his return will not revive it. He must ob tain a new settlement, after his return, by a continuous residence of one year in some township of this state. Crane Tp. v. Antrim Tp., 12 Ohio St. 430.

If a man having no settlement in this state, marry a woman having such settlement, and abandon her before he acquires a new settlement, she will, if in need of relief, be entitled to receive it from the township where she was last legally settled prior to her marriage. Ibid.

The legal settlement of a minor child, member of his father's family, continues to be in the township where his father was last legally settled, notwithstanding the father removes with his family to a township in another county, and there abandons them, if neither he nor his family remain in such township long enough to acquire a new settlement. Trustees of Spencer Tp. 1. Trustees of Pleasant Tp., 17 Ohio St. 31.

The abandoned wife, during coverture, is not able to acquire for herself or minor child a legal settlement different from that of her husband, the father of the child. Ibid.

If such abandoned wife obtain a divorce granting her the custody of the child, she can not, as a feme sole, acquire a legal settlement until a sufficient time has elapsed, after the divorce, to enable her to acquire such settlement. Ibid.

The antenuptial agreement of a second husband, to support the minor child of his wife by the former husband, does not, of itself, change the legal settlement of the child.

Ibid.

A lunatic having been removed, by her guardian, from the township where she had obtained a legal settlement, to another township of the same county, where she resided with, and was maintained by, the guardian for several years, it was held that she had lost her settlement in the first-mentioned township, and that such townsb'p could not be charged with her maintenance. Trustees of Jakson Tp. v. Trustees of Polk Tp., 19 Ohio St. 28

or she has continuously resided and supported himself or herself, for twelve consecutive months, without relief under the provisions of the laws for the relief of the poor, with the following exceptions:

1. An indented servant or apprentice, legally brought into this state, is deemed to have obtained a legal settlement in any township in which such servant or apprentice shall have served his or her master or mistress for onc year continuously.

2. The wife or widow of any person whose last settlement is, or was, in any township in this state, is to be considered as settled in the same township; but if she has not obtained a settlement in this state, she must be held to be settled in the place where she was last settled previous to her marriage. 1492.

Continuance of settlement.-The settlement which a person has legally obtained in a township, continues until he or she has obtained a legal settlement elsewhere. 1493.

Liability of the township upon complaint made.-If any person having knowledge of the fact, forth with makes complaint to the trustees that any person in the township is in a condition requiring public relief or the services of a physician or surgeon, the township thereupon becomes liable for any relief which may have been, or may thereafter be, furnished to any one in condition to require the same. 1494.

When complaint is to be made and services rendered.—If medical service is required, the attending physician or surgeon is required to immediately notify the trustees, or one of them, in writing, that he is attending a pauper, and thereupon the township becomes liable for all relief and for services rendered, which may thereafter be afforded to such person, only in such amount as the trustees determine to be just and reasonable. If notice be not given within three days after relief is afforded, or service begins, then the township is liable only for such services or relief as may be rendered after notice has been given, but the trustees, or one of them, may at any time order the discontinu
