Chap. 416.—An ACT Preserving Certain Remedies from Loss by Lapse of
Time.

Approved November 5, 1870.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That in computing
time under the twelfth section of chapter one hundred and
eighty-six of the Code of Virginia (edition eighteen hundred
and sixty), there shall, as to writs of fieri facias, be omitted
from such computation the time elapsed between the first
day of January, eighteen hundred and sixty-nine, and the
eighteenth day of February, eighteen hundred and seventy ;
but every writ of fieri facias issued upon a judgment, which,
but for this act, would have to be revived by scire facias before
such writ could issue, shall not be made returnable within less
than ninety days: provided, nothing herein contained shall be
so construed as to affect the question of costs in any writ of
scire facias now pending.

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