Virginia, passed April sixth, eighteen hundred and thirty-nine,
for the purpose of constructing a turnpike road from Winchester
to Berry’s ferry on the Shenandoah river; and,

Whereas, said act of incorporation was revived by an act
gassed by the general assembly on January twenty-first, eigh-
‘een hundred and forty-eight; and,

nine and eighteen hundred and fifty, and by an act passed
January twenty-third, eighteen hundred and fifty-four; and,

Whereas, more than one year ago so much of the said Win-
chester and Berry’s ferry turnpike as lies within the county of
Frederick was declared non-tollable by viewers appointed in
accordance with the statute for such cases made and provided,
and the said Winchester and Berry’s ferry turnpike company
has since failed to put so much of its road as lies within the
county of Frederick in a tollable condition, but has maintained
in a tollable condition so much of its road as lies within the
county of Clarke; now, therefore, in consideration of the
premises,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
so much of the Winchester and Berry’s ferry turnpike as lies
within the county of Frederick is declared forfeited and aban-
doned by said turnpike company; but this abandonment shall
in no wise affect or diminish the rights of said company under
its charter to control and operate pursuant thereto, so much of
its road as lies in the county of Clarke.

And it is provided that said Winchester and Berry’s ferry
turnpike company shall continue to enjoy all of its rights and
privileges under its said charter to so much of its road as lies
within the county of Clarke.
