Chap. 279.—An ACT amending section 8, of chapter 132, Code of Vir-
ginia, in relation to Fiduciaries.

Passed March 1, 1867.

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

Ҥ 8. Any such fiduciary who shall wholly fail to lay be-
fore such commissioner a statement of receipts for any year,
within six months after its expiration, shall have no compen-
sation whatever for his services during the said year, unless
allowed by the court; and though a statement be laid before
the commissioner, yet, if such fiduciary be found chargeable
for that year with any money not embraced in the said state-
ment, he shall have no commission on such money, unless
allowed by the court. This section shall not apply to a case
in which, within six months after the end of any year, such
fiduciary shall have given to the parties entitled to the money
received in such year, astatement of the said money, and ac-
tually settled therefor with thém; nor to a case in which,
within the said six months after the end of any year, fidu-
ciary shall have laid a statement of his receipts within such
year before a commissioner in chancery, who may, in a pend-
ing suit, have been ordered to settle his account.”
9. This act shall be in force from its passage.
