two thousand and fifty-five and two thousand and fifty-seven of chapter
93 of the Code of Virginia as heretofore amended be amended and re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

§2055. The value of such fence and the proportion thereof to be paid
by such person, and the proportion of the division fence to be built by
him, in case of his enclosing his land, shall be determined, in case they
cannot agree, by three persons to be agreed upon by them, and if they
cannot so agree, by three disinterested freeholders, to be appointed by
a justice of the peace of the district in which the land or a greater part
thereof is situated, on motion of either party, after reasonable notice to
the other.

§2057. The person so selected shall go upon the premises and hear
the allegations and proof of the parties; fix definitely the portion of the
fence to be built or repaired by each, the costs of the same and by whom
to be paid; the manner in which it is to be done and the period in which
it shall he done; and the decision of any two of them shall be final, and
bind the parties to such dispute and all parties holding or claiming
under them.
