CHAPTER 632

An Act to amend and reenact § 8-204, as amended, of the Code of Virginia,
relating to pay and mileage of jurors. CH 1152]

Approved April 4, 1968

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 8-204, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 8-204. Every person summoned as a juror shall be entitled to *
eight dollars for each day of attendance upon the court, and at the rate of
seven cents per mile for each mile of travel on each day of such attendance
by the most direct route in going to and returning from court. Such mile-
age in no case shall exceed four dollars per day, except when jurors have
been summoned for the trial of a case provided for in § 8-198, in which
case the court may allow them their actual expenses in addition to their
per diem, such pay and mileage to be paid out of the county or corporation
evy.
When during the same day a person has served as a juror and he is
entitled to be paid out of the public treasury, and has also served as a
juror, under circumstances for which he is entitled to be paid out of the
county or corporation levy, the court shall divide the pay and mileage for
such day between the State and the county or corporation; and it shall be
the duty of the sheriff or sergeant at the term of the court during which
an allowance is made or has been made under this section, to furnish the
clerk of the court with a statement, showing the number and names of the
jurors in attendance upon the court, and the number of miles respectively
of travel. In every case the claim of the juror for attendance and for mile-
age shall be verified by his affidavit. In cities, when the jurors are sum-
moned to attend courts held in such cities, jurors shall receive for each
day of attendance upon the court without serving upon a jury the same
pay and mileage as if they served upon a jury.
