Approved March 27, 1914.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
an act approved February twenty-fourth, eighteen hundred and
ninety, entitled an act to require the clerk of any circuit, county,
or corporation court to remit to the auditor whenever funds due
the State in their hands shall amount to five hundred dollars, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Every clerk of any court whenever the amount of funds in his
hands due the Commonwealth shall amount to five hundred dollars,
shall remit same to the auditor of public accounts by certified check
made payable to the order of the State treasurer, or as otherwise
provided by law, such payment to be credited to him and allowed
him in the settlements he is required by law to make with the
auditor of public accounts. Any clerk failing to comply with the
provisions of this act shall be liable to a fine of fifty dollars for
each offense to be recovered by a motion in the circuit court of the
city of Richmond, made by the attorney general of the State, at
the request of the auditor of public accounts.

2. Because this bill affects the revenue of the State an emergency:
exists, therefore this act shall be in force from its passage.
