Chap. 4.—An ACT to authorize the surviving corporators of St.
Paul’s church home of Petersburg, to convey a lot of land on
Guarantee street, in the city of Petersburg, to the Petersburg
home for the sick.

Approved December 15, 1891.

Whereas by an act of the general assembly of Vir-
ginia entitled “an act to incorporate Saint Paul’s church
home of Petersburg,” approved April twentieth, eighteen
hundred and seventy-four, Reverend J. H. D. Wingfield
and others were incorporated under the name of “Saint
Paul’s church home of Petersburg,” with power to acquire
property, real and personal, not exceeding two hundred
thousand dollars, and having as its general objects the
maintenance and education of infant children and the
establishment of a hospital for the reception and treat-
ment of destitute sick persons;

And whereas said home was organized in April, eighteen
hundred and seventy-five, and took care of and main-
tained a number of children from that time until Decem-
ber, eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, when the corpora-
tion being unable to obtain funds sufficient to main-
tain the children at the home, the same was virtually dis-
solved and other arrangements were made for the children
then at the home, a hospital for the sick never having
been established ;

And whereas said corporation acquired title to a lot of
land on the west side of Guarantee street, in the city of
Petersburg, fronting on said street sixty feet,and running
back westwardly about four hundred feet, bounded on the
south by the property of William Mahone and on the
north by the property of C. T. Williamson ;

And whereas on the twenty-fourth day of May, eigh-
teen hundred and eighty-seven, the judge of the hustings
court of Petersburg granted a charter to “the Petersburg
home for the sick,” and on the application of the said cor-
poration the Reverend C. R. Haines, John Mann, F. E.
Davis and R. T. Arrington, the surviving corporators of
said Saint Paul’s church home, agreed to give the lot of
land above described to the Petersburg home for the sick;
and inasmuch as the corporators of Saint Paul’s church
home of Petersburg had been reduced below the number
required by ifs charter to transact business, they further
agreed to petition the legislature of Virginia for authority
to convey the said lot of land to the Petersburg home for
the sick, which petition has been filed; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That it shall and may be lawful for C. R. Haines, John
Mann, F. E. Davis and R. T. Arrington, surviving corpora-
tors of Saint Paul’s church home of Petersburg, to convey
to the Petersburg home for the sick, by deed, with special]
warranty, the lot of land above described.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
