1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virgimia, That sec-
tion forty-nine hundred and twenty-eight of the Code of Virginia be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Sec. 4928. Compensation and mileage of jurors in criminal cases:
when and by whom paid.—Every person summoned as a juror in a
criminal case shall be entitled to one dollar and fifty cents for each
day of attendance upon the court, and mileage at the rate of five cents
per mile for each mile of travel on each day of such attendance (except
when they are kept together and their expenses are paid by the State)
by most direct route in going to and returning from court; but such
mileage shall in no case exceed two dollars per day ; provided, however,
that each juror summoned from one county or‘city to try a criminal
case in another county or city shall, for his services, receive his actual
expenses in addition to his per diem. If the same person attend as 2
juror in more than one criminal case on the same day, he shall receive
compensation and mileage in only one case. Amounts for attendance
and mileage provided for in this section shall be paid out of the treas-
ury of the State except as hereinafter provided.

And when during the same day a person has served as a juror, for
which he is entitled to be paid out of the public treasury, and has also
served as a juror, for which he is entitled to be paid out of the county
or corporation levy, the court shall divide equally the pay and mile-
age for such day between the State and the county or corporation:
and it shall be the duty of the sheriff of the circuit or sergeant of the
corporation (or hustings) court, at the term of the court during which
an allowance is made or has been made under this section, to furmish
the clerk of such court with a statement showing the number and
names of the jurors in attendance upon the court, and the number ot
miles, respectively, of travel, as aforesaid. In every case the claim
of the juror, for attendance and for mileage, as aforesaid, shall be
verified by his affidavit.
