Chap. 123.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 6357 of the Code of Virginia
with respect to the printing of record in cases on appeal. [(S B 21}

Approved March 8, 1924.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
sixty-three hundred and fifty-seven of the Code be amended and re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 6357. In every case docketed in the supreme court of
appeals the clerk of the court, where the case is docketed, shall make a
table of contents to the whole record. Of the petition, so much of
the record as the counsel for any party interested or the court may direct,
and the table of contents, the clerk shall cause twenty-five copies to be
printed, unless a larger number be ordered by the court preserving in
the margin of the printed record the paging of the record from the court
below, which shall be used in printing and returned to the clerk’s office.
The c erk shall take care that printing be properly done. Of the copies
printed, he shall deliver one to each Judge, two to each of counsel on
each side, retain one in his office, transmit one to the clerk of the court
below (in which the case was originally decided), and deliver one copy
to the reporter. The cost of the printing, after being allowed by the
court, shall be paid out of the treasury. Provided, however, if the ap-
pellant is financially unable and makes affidavit thereof the same to be
approved by the trial court or Judge thereof in vacation and certified
to the clerk of the supreme court of appeals then in such case the filing
with the clerk of the appellate court of ten neatly typewritten, multi-
graphed, mimeographed, photostatic or carbon copies of the record upon
sheets of paper of a uniform size to be prescribed by said court, duly
certified by the clerk of the court from which the appeal is taken, shall
be considered a sufficient substitute for printing such record. In copy-
ing the pleadings and evidence, all formal parts thereof, such as caption,
adjournments, and exceptions taken by counsel (except where expressly
relied upon in the trial court and made a ground of error) may be omitted
from the transcript; and the original exhibits filed with the evidence
taken in the cause instead of being copied into the record, may be used
at the hearing on appeal with the same effect as in the court below.

2. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act are hereby
repealed.

3. Anemergency existing, this act shall be in force from its passage.
