Section 30. Lost or destroyed seal must be replaced  


Latest version.
  • When the seal of a
      court is so injured, that it can not be  conveniently  used,  the  court
      must  cause  it to be destroyed; and when the seal of a court is lost or
      destroyed, the court must cause a new seal to be made,  similar  in  all
      respects  to  the former seal, which shall become the seal of the court.
      The expense of a new seal for a county clerk, or  a  local  court  in  a
      city,  must  be paid as part of the contingent expenses of the county or
      of the court, as the case requires. The expense of a new  seal  for  any
      other  court,  except  a  surrogate's court, must be paid from the state
      treasury.
        The provisions of this section shall not be applicable in those  cases
      where special provisions are otherwise made by law.
