soldier.

Whereas John W. Manly, a disabled Confederate of Kirkpatrick’s
battery, of Colonel William Nelson’s battalion of artillery, was a true
and loyal soldier during the war between the states; and

Whereas he was taken prisoner at Gettysburg and held as a prisoner
until after the end of the war, and is now seventy-five years old, and
has long been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and is so generally
broken down as to be unable to earn his support, a consequence result-
ins, aS he believes, in great measure from exposure in the service and
while confined in prison; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That upon
the application of the said John W. Manly, the county court of Flu-
vanna, in which county the said Manly resides, or the judge thereof in
vacation, may examine into the condition of the said Manly and hear
evidence as to the statements above in recital made, and if they shall
appear to be irue the said court shall cause its certificate of the facts
to be entered of record and a copy thereof to be certified to the auditor
of public accounts of Virginia, who shall thereupon place the name of
the said Manly on the pension rolls and issue to him annually on or
after the first day of April his warrant on the treasurer for fifteen
dollars.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
