Approved February 20, 1932 .

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
thirty-one hundred and sixteen of the Code of Virginia, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 3116. Any such civil justice, or civil and police justice as
provided for in this Code or in any city charters, may issue the sum-
mons provided for by section sixty-five hundred and three, when the
fieri facias upon any final judgment heretofore or hereafter rendered,
was issued by him. In such case such justices shall have all the
powers and authority, respecting interrogatories, conferred by any
section of chapter two hundred and seventy-two upon any court or
judge mentioned therein. The commissioner before whom any person
is required to appear by such summons, issued by any such justice,
shall have the same powers and authority as if said summons had been
issued by the clerk under section sixty-five hundred and three. All
interrogatories, answers, reports and other proceedings under such
summons, and also all money, evidence of debt and other security in
the hands of an officer, which are directed by any section of said chap-
ter two hundred and seventy-two, to be-returned or delivered to such
court or judge, or to the clerk’s office of such court, shall, when the
said summons was issued by such justice, be returned or delivered in
like manner to said justice. From any order made pursuant to this
section by any such justice which shall involve the disposition of any
money or property exceeding in value fifty dollars, exclusive of in-
terest, there shall be an appeal in the same manner and upon the same
condition as in the case of appeals allowed from judgments upon
claims rendered by such justice.
