The Public Debt. 19 



state notes, interest certificates, pay-table orders, and bills of credit 

 of this state, which at the time of passing this act shall be outstanding, 

 shall on or before March 4 next be presented at the office of the 

 comptroller of this state for the purpose of being discharged in a trans- 

 fer of stock of the United States standing to the credit of this state 

 on the books of the treasurer of the United States, or of being lodged 

 and registered in said office at the option of the holder." All of the 

 aforesaid evidences of indebtedness which were not presented at the 

 comptroller's office before March 4, 1799, as thus provided, were to 

 be forever afterward barred from settlement.^ The opportunity to 

 transfer such forms of indebtedness for United States stock ceased 

 on this date, but the general assembly, in the May session of 1799, 

 voted to extend the opportunity to register the above mentioned 

 claims against the state until April 1, 1800, before declaring any such 

 claims void.^ The full amount of the public debt as it stood on 

 April 30, 1800, and the amount of the same registered in accordance 

 with these two acts appear in the following statement:
