Any surety desiring to be relieved from the bond of a state depository may give notice in writing to the Governor of such desire with the reasons therefor; and the Governor shall have authority, in his discretion, to relieve the surety. The consent of the cosureties first must be obtained in writing; and the principal must furnish a new surety to take the place of the surety relieved, which new surety will assume all the liabilities for past and future transactions.
