Virginia. [H B 307]
Approved March 28, 1922. :
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion five thousand four hundred and twenty-eight of the Code of
Virginia be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Sec. 5428. Court to examine reports and correct any errors; when
confirmed to be recorded; vouchers, et cetera, to be returned to
parties.—The court, after one month from the time the report may
have been filed in its office, shall examine the same, with such excep-
tions thereto as may be filed, at any time before such examination.
It shall correct any errors which shall appear on the exceptions, and
any appearing on the face of the account, whether excepted to or
not; and to this end may commit the report to the same or another
commissioner, as often as it sees cause; or it may cause a jury to be
empaneled to inquire into any matter which, in its opinion, should
be ascertained in that way; or it may confirm the report in a whole
or in a qualified manner, and shall certify in the order that it has
made a personal examination of said reports, whether excepted to
or not. The clerk shall record every report which may be so con-
firmed, and at the foot of it, the order of confirmation, in what is
known as will books, and index the same according to the provisions
of section thirty-three hundred and ninety-four.
Provided, however, that any such court may, in its discretion, by
an order entered of record, direct that such accounts shall be returned
to it upon uniform sheets of paper, of the grade prescribed by sec-
tion three thousand three hundred and ninety-nine, in such dimen-
sions and size as the court may prescribe, suitable and ready for
binding, and in lieu of copying such reports in blank books, may
direct the clerk to file and preserve the original accounts so returned,
with the order of confirmation at the foot, in a temporary holder,
and from time to time direct that the same be substantially bound
under the supervision of the clerk into permanent books, each prop-
erly titled “fiduciary account book,” serially numbered and properly
indexed; for which service the clerk of any court adopting this
method of recordation shall receive a fee of one dollar for each
account.
Any vouchers or other evidence remaining with the commissioner
at the time of such confirmation, and not wanting for any further
matter of inquiry before him, shall be returned by him to the party
who filed the same.
