Chap. 941.—An ACT for the relief of George A. Bowling, a disabled Confed-
erate soldier. °

Approved March 7, 1900. \

Whereas George A. Bowling, a disabled Confederate soldier of
Cooper’s battery of Virginia artillery, was a true and gallant soldier
during the late war, was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disabilities—to wit:
Left knee mashed by being thrown on a caisson, by which he was dis-
abled from further drill duty, and the injury is such as to prevent labor
without great pain, which, together with infirmities of advanced age,
render him unable to support himself by labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
county court of Stafford shall examine into the condition of the above-
named George A. Bowling, a Confederate soldier, and should it be that
he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is
now afflicted and incapacitated for manual labor, that he is needy and
poor, and should receive aid from Virginia; and if the county court of
Stafford should send a certificate of the facts to the auditor of public
accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of public accounts is directed to
place the name of George A. Bowling on the pension list, and 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.
