[S B 267]

Approved March 24, 1930

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
thirty-one hundred and five of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 3105. All procedure under this chapter in claims and
proceedings of which the civil and police justice is given jurisdiction
by sub-section “b” of section thirty-one hundred and two, except so
far as herein otherwise provided, shall conform to the chapter con-
cerning warrants for small claims, except that warrants for small
claims may also be made returnable before such civil and police jus-
tice, if the defendant, or one of them if there be more than one defen-
dant, is regularly employed or has his regular place of business in such
city or if the cause of action arose therein; except that on motion of
either party the adverse party may be required to file particulars of
the claims or the grounds of the defense as provided in section sixty
hundred and ninety-one, and except that the proceedings in a cause
wherein an infant or an insane person is a party shall not be stayed
because of such infancy or insanity, but the civil and police justice
before whom such suit is pending shall appoint some discreet and com-
petent attorney at law as guardian ad litem to such infant or insane
defendant, whether such defendant shall have been served with process
or not; or if no such attorney be found willing to act, the civil and
police justice shall appoint some other discreet and proper person as
guardian ad litem who shall faithfully represent the interest or estate
of the infant or insane person for whom he is appointed; but the said
guardian ad litem so appointed shall not be liable for costs. The civil
and police justice rendering any judgment may immediately issue a
writ of fieri facias thereon, and shall as a matter of course issue a writ
of fieri facias thereon, after ten days from the rendition thereof, if there
be not a new trial granted, nor an appeal allowed, nor a stay of execu-
tion; and the said civil and police justice may from time to time renew
such writ either before or after the expiration of one year from the
date of judgment. :
