Approved March 7, 1924.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That on and
after January first, nineteen hundred and twenty-five all writings which
are to be recorded or docketed in the clerk’s offices of courts of record in
this State other than deeds of conveyance, mortgages and deeds of trust
or the portions thereof to be copied on the record shall be printed in type
as large as eight point type, unless such writings or the part thereof to
be copied on the record be written in pen and ink or by typewriter. And
the clerks of such courts may decline to receive such writings unless they
be so printed or written, until and unless there shall be paid to such clerk
double the amount of the clerk’s fees that would be chargeable for the
recordation or docketing of such writing if printed or written in compli-
ance with the provisions of this act.
