Approved March 14, 1922.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion six thousand three hundred and fifty-five of the Code of Virginia
be amended and re-enacted to read as follows:

Section 6355. Limitations of appeals, writs of error, or super-
sedeas.—No process shall issue on an appeal, writ of error, or super-
sedeas, allowed to or from a final judgment, decree or order, if when
the record, with the petition required by section six thousand three
hundred and thirty-nine, is delivered to the clerk of the appellate
court there shall have elapsed six months since the date of such final
judgment, decree, or order, or three months if the decree appealed
from was a decree refusing a bill of review to a final decree rendered
more than six months prior thereto. |

No such process shall issue upon an appeal, writ of error, or super-
sedeas allowed to a final judgment, order, or finding of the State
corporation commission, if when the record, with the petition required
by law, is delivered to the clerk of the appellate court, there shall
have elapsed six months since the date of such final judgment, order
or finding.

The appeal, writ of error or supersedeas shall be dismissed when-
ever it appears that six months or three months, as the case may be,
has elapsed since the date before the record, with the said petition,
is delivered to such clerk, or before such bond is given as is required
to be given before an appeal, writ of error, or supersedeas takes effect ;
provided, that the time which shall elapse from the presentation of
the petition for an appeal, writ of error, or supersedeas, and the
delivery of the record, with the petition required by law, to the clerk
of the appellate court as aforesaid shall be excluded from the com-
putation of the said period of six months or three months, as the
case may be.
