N.Y. Judiciary Law § 30: Lost or destroyed seal must be replaced

§ 30. Lost or destroyed seal must be replaced. 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.
