CHAP. 628.—An ACT to place on the retired list members of
Virginia volunteers who have served ten years.

Approved March 3, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That any officer, non-commissioned officer or private in
the Virginia volunteers who shall have served for ten
years as an active member in the Virginia volunteers,
may, upon his own application through the regular mili-
tary channels to the commander-in-chief, be placed upon
the retired list of the organization to which he may be-
long, and may only be required to answer any summons
in aid of the civil authorities and to attend the annual
inspection and muster of his command: provided further,
that any commissioned officer, non-commissioned officer
or private who may have honorably left the service of the
Virginia volunteers, after having served ten years therein,
may upon his application in like manner be placed upon
the retired list. In all cases officers shall be commis-
sioned in their respective rank as retired ‘officers with
commissions of the same grade as when retired; non-
commissioned officers shall receive warrants as of the re-
tired list with the rank held when retired. Al] retired
officers, non-commissioned officers and privates retired
shall be borne upon the rolls of their respective com-
mands as such. They shall be a part of said commands
and shall so remain unless dismissed from the service by
court-martial or discharge at their own request.

2. That in computing the term of service necessary to
be placed upon the retired list herein provided for, the
time of service of any applicant in the army of the Con-
federate States of America shall be considered a part of
said ten years’ service: provided that nothing herein con-
tained shall be construed as exempting commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and privates from jury service.

3. This act shall be in force from its passage.
