[S 334]

Approved March 11, 1952

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

That § 19-189 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as
follows:

§ 19-189. When the jury are kept together the court shall direct its
officers to furnish them with suitable board and lodging, when so confined,
to be paid out of the State treasury, the expense thereof to be determined
by the court, not to exceed, however, for each juror, one dollar * fifty cents
for each meal furnished, and not to exceed * four dollars for lodging. And
the same amount shall be allowed, in either case, for the meals and lodging
of sheriff, or his deputy, keeping such jury, to be paid in the same manner.
But in no case, shall more be paid for meals or lodging than usually
charged by the hotel or boarding house at which the jury is lodged.
