“When Canceled-Barred by Lapse of Time, When — Whenever any warrant drawn on any county treasurer shall have remained in the possession of the county clerk for five years, unclaimed or not called for by the person in whose favor it shall have been drawn, or his or her legal representatives, the county court shall, by proper order, entered of record, annul and cancel the same; and whenever any such warrant, being delivered, shall not be presented to the county treasurer for payment within five years after the date thereof, or, being presented within that time and protested for want of funds to pay it, shall not be again presented for payment within five years after funds shall have been set apart for the payment thereof, such warrant shall be barred and shall not be paid, nor shall it be received in payment of any taxes or other dues.”
