Chap. 1458.—An ACT for the relief of James Andrew Davis, a disabled
Confederate soldier.

Approved March 7, 1900. _

Whereas James Andrew Davis, of Mathews county, was a true and
faithful Confederate soldier, was loyal to Virginia in the war between
the states, is now disabled to do manual labor because of age and in-
firmity, being about eighty-three years of age, is poor and needy, and is
deserving of aid from Virginia; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That if the
county court of Mathews county shall inquire into the condition of said
James Andrew Davis, and it appear that the facts are as hereinbefore
alleged, and that he is deserving of aid from Virginia, and if said court
shall certify the facts to the auditor of public accounts, thereupon said
auditor is hereby authorized and directed to place the name of said
James Andrew Davis, as so certified, on the pension list and to pay
him annually the sum of fifteen dollars on and after the first day of
April, nineteen hundred.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
