the Code of 1860, as to Offences of the Revenue Laws by Commissioners
of the Revenue.

Approved October 29, 1870.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That the one hun-
dred and eighth section of chapter thirty-five of the Code of
Virginia (edition eighteen hundred and sixty), be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 108. It shall be the duty of every commissioner, or other
officer charged with the assessment of taxes and licenses, to
furnish the attorney of the commonwealth of the county, city,
or town, a list of every violation of the revenue law commit-
ted by persons other than himself, showing the nature and
character of each violation. And it shall be the duty of each
attorney to deliver such list to the foreman of the grand jury,
who shall treat it as having been delivered specially in charge
to the grand jury. The said foreman, after the grand jury is
discharged, shall return such list to the clerk of the court, to
be preserved and filed by him in his office. It shall also be the
duty of the circuit, county, and corporation courts for the
commonwealth, specially to charge the grand juries to inquire
into all violations of the revenue by the commissioners.”

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
