Chap. 71.—An ACT to validate and ratify the conveyance of a certain lot in the
city of Williamsburg by the mayor thereof to Moses R. Harrell, junior.
[
B 155]
Approved February 25, 1922.
Whereas, by deed dated May first, eighteen hundred and seventy-
one, and recorded in Williamsburg deed book number one, at page two
hundred and seventy-one, William R. C. Douglas, mayor of the city
of Williamsburg, conveyed to Moses R. Harrell, junior, the following
described lot of land, with the buildings thereon, situate in the city of
Williamsburg :
“Continuing one (1) acre, more or less, and bounded as follows:
On the north by Main street; south by Francis street ; east by ..........
street; and west by the street connecting Main and Francis streets.”
This property is now known as the “City Hotel property” ; and,
Whereas, it appears that the common council of said city author-
ized and directed the sale of said property to said Moses R. Harrell,
junior, and,
Whereas, it appears that the validity of said conveyance has been
questioned by reason of the fact that said conveyance does not appear
to have been authorized by the general assembly of Virginia; and,
Whereas, it 1s the desire of the common council of the city of
Williamsburg and of George S. Martin, the present owner of said
property, to have the said conveyance to Moses R. Harrell, junior,
validated and confirmed by the general assembly of Virginia;
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
said conveyance of the lot of land and buildings thereon, in the city
of Williamsburg, from William R. C. Douglas, mayor of the city of
Williamsburg, to Moses R. Harrell, junior, be, and the same is, hereby
validated, ratified, approved and confirmed, notwithstanding any irreg-
ularity in said conveyance by reason of the fact that said conveyance
was not previously authorized by an act of the general assembly of
Virginia.
2. All acts or parts of acts in conflict with this act are hereby
repealed.
3. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force upon its
passage.
