Chap. 256.—An ACT to provide for the payment of small amounts into court,
and then to the parties entitled to receive the same, without the intervention
of any administrator, guardian or committee. [(S B 243]

Approved March 16, 1920.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That when-
ever there is, accruing to any person, adult, or infant, any sum of
money from any source, not exceeding three hundred dollars, the same
may be paid into the court of the county or corporation having juris-
diction in fiduciary matters, in which such person to which such sum
properly belongs is resident; and, by said court, by an order entered
of record, paid into the hands of such persons, if considered competent
to expend and use the same in his or her behalf, by such court, or
to some other person for him or her, who 1s considered competent to
administer the same, for the benefit of such person, without the in-
tervention of an administrator, guardian or committee. The clerk
of such court shall take a receipt from the person to whom said money
be paid, which shall show the source from which derived, the amount,
to whom it belongs, when and to whom paid, which receipt shall be
signed and acknowledged by the person so receiving the said money,
and entered of record in the book, in such clerk’s office, and indexed,
in which the current fiduciary accounts are entered.

After such a receipt is so executed and entered of record, the per-
son owing said money shall be discharged, of said obligation, as fully
as if the same had been paid to an administrator, guardian or com-
mittee.

No bond shall be required of the party to whom said money is paid
by the court.
