thirty-five hundred and eighty-four of the Code of Virginia, as amended
by acts nineteen hundred and two-three-four, chapter five hundred and
twenty-four, page eight hundred and thirty-seven, be amended and re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

83584. When writ of possession may issue; fieri facias for damages
or profits and costs; how writ in unlawful detainer executed, and when
returnable—On a judgment for the recovery of specific property, real or
personal, a writ of possession may issue for the specific property, which
shall conform to the judgment as to the description of the property and
the estate, title and interest recovered, and there may also be issued a
writ of fieri facias for the damages or profits and costs. In cases of un-
lawful entry and detainer and of ejectment, whenever the officer to whom
a writ of possession has been delivered to be executed finds the premises
locked, he may, after declaring at the door the cause of his coming and
demanding to have the door opened, employ reasonable and necessary
force to break and enter the door and put the plaintiff in possession.
Writs of possession, in case of unlawful entry and detainer, where the
premises are located in cities or towns or in suburban or other lands
which are subdivided into building lots for residential purposes, shall be
made returnable within thirty days from the date of issuing the writ.
