an

Whereas he is entirely without means of support—

county court of Nottoway shall examine into the condition of the above-
named Richard T. Vaughan, a Confederate soldier, and if it shall
appear that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and
that he is now afflicted by rheumatism consequent upon his services
in the army, that he is totally incapacitated for manual labor, that
he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from Virginia; and if the
county court of Nottoway shall send a certificate of said facts to the
auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public ac-
counts is directed to place the name of Richard T. Vaughan on the
pension list, and pay him annually the sum of thirty dollars on and
after the first day of April, nineteen hundred.
