@

Approved April 21, 1882.

Whereas two judgments have been obtained in the circuit
court of Washington county, in the name of George R. Barr,
treasurer, for the benefit of the commonwealth; one rendered
at the October term, eighteen hundred and seventy-four, for
three hundred and seventy-two dollars and seventeen cents,
with interest from June first, eighteen hundred and seventy-
four, at ten per centum per annum, and four dollars and
ninety-two cents costs; and the other rendered at the January
term, eighteen hundred and seventy-six, for one thousand
seven hundred and seventy-two dollars and twenty-one cents,
with interest from June first, eighteen hundred and seventy-
five, at ten per centum per month, and twelve dollars and
seventy-five cents costs, against R. H. Thompson, as collector
of Goodson township, in said county, and John Thompson,
J. H. Bottles, William A. Rader, and W. M. Hopkins, as his
sureties; and whereas the said R. H. Thompson, and all of his
sureties, except John Thompson and J. H. Bottles, are insol-
vent, and it would be just and equitable that relief should be
granted as hereinafter provided; and whereas it appears that
such relief should be granted as hereinafter provided; and
whereas it appears that such relief has been recommended by

the circuit court of Washington county, pursuant to statute
in such cases provided; therefore,

1. Be itenacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the auditor of public accounts is hereby authorized and direc-
ted to accept from the said sureties, or any of them, or any
of their personal representatives, should any of them be dead,
in three per centum bonds of the commonwealth, issued under
act approved February fourteen, eighteen hundred and
eighty-two, known as the Riddleberger act, at their face
value, to the amount of the principal of said judgments and
six per centum interest thereon and the costs, which shall be
in full satisfaction of said two liabilities against such sureties:
provided, however, that such payment in full, as aforesaid,
shall be made within twelve months from the passage of this
act. But nothing herein shall be so construed as to apply
the relief therein to said R. H. Thompson, and nothing herein
contained shall be construed as in any wise relieving the
principal from the payment of the difference in the par value
of the bonds paid by the securities and the amount due upon
said judgments. :

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
