Chap. 746.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 3160 of the code of Vir-
ginia in relation to the pay and mileage of jurors.

Approved March 4, 1896.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
Lion thirty-one hundred and sixty of the code of Virginia in relation
to the pay and mileage of jurors, be amended and re-enacted so as
to read as follows:

8 3160. Every person summoned as a juror shall be entitled to one
dollar for each day of attendance upon the court, and at the rate of
four cents per mile for each mile of travel by most direct route in
going to and returning from court; such mileage, however, in no
case to exceed one dollar per day; such pay and mileage to be paid
out of the county or corporation levy. And when during the same
day a person has served as a juror for which he is entitled to be paid
out of the public treasury, and has also served as a juror 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 of the county or corporation court at the term of
the court during which an allowance is made or has been made under
this section to furnish the clerk of such 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, as aforesaid.
In every case the claim of the juror for attendance, and for mileage,
as aforesaid, shall be verified by his affidavit: provided, however,
that in cities, where the jurors are summoned to attend courts held
in said cities, such jurors shall only receive fifty cents for each day
of attendance upon said court without serving upon a jury.

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