to judgments of courts not of record.
[(S 216]

Approved March 30, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 16.1-94 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 16.1-94. Whenever a judgment is rendered in a court not of record
the judgment shall be entered on the warrant, motion for judgment,
counter claim, cross-claim or other pleading and signed by the judge, or
the signature of the judge may be affixed by a facsimile stamps, in which
event the judge shall initial a notation of the judgment made on the warrant
or other paper. If the action is on a note, bond or other written obligation,
the date and amount of the judgment rendered shall be noted thereon, to
which notation the judge or clerk shall affix his name or his initials. No-
thing in this section shall be construed to prevent the judge from entering
a formal order in any case in which he deems such order to be appropriate,
or to affect the validity of any formal order so entered. If such action is on
a lease for the recovery of rent or possession of property this section shall
not operate to require marking of such lease unless the judge deems such
marking necessary.
