Passed January 8, 1866,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the fourteenth section of chapter one hundred and thirty of
the Code of eighteen hundred and sixty be amended and _re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

Ҥ14. The dead victuals (or so much thereof as may be
necessary) which, at the death of any person, shall have been
laid in for consumption in his family, shall remain for the use

sary for the food of the family may be killed for that use
before the sale or distribution of the estate: and where the
decedent has left a widow or infant children, there shall be
vested in them, or such of them as there may be, exempt
from sale for funeral expenses, or debts of the decedent, or
charges of administration on his estate, whether said estate
be solvent or not, such of his property as would, if he were
alive, and a husband or parent, be exempt from being taken
under execution for his debts; and the same shall not be
taken into account by the administrator or executor of said
estate.”

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