                  Act of May 9, 1949, P.L. 955, No. 267               Cl. 72
                                  AN ACT

     Providing for the payment into the court of certain moneys
        involved in disputes between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
        and any county officer acting as agent of the Commonwealth.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  When a dispute arises between the Commonwealth of
     Pennsylvania and any county officer acting as agent of the
     Commonwealth for the collection of moneys involving the
     possession or the right of possession to such funds or any part
     thereof, it shall be the duty of the county officer acting as
     agent to pay the same into the court of common pleas of the
     county wherein the county officer holds office.
        Section 2.  The Commonwealth or the county officer acting as
     agent of the Commonwealth may petition the court of common pleas
     setting forth the dispute and praying for leave to deposit or to
     have the moneys deposited in court, whereupon the court shall
     designate a depository for such funds. The funds shall be held
     by the said depository until written notice is given by the
     Commonwealth and the county officer acting as agent for the
     Commonwealth that the dispute is ended, whereupon the depository
     shall release the funds in accordance with the terms of the
     notice.
