Chap. 23.—An ACT to validate and confirm all acts, contracts and proceedings
under the charter of the Virginia trust company, heretofore styled “The
Virginia safe deposit and fidelity company,” prior to the payment of the fee
on its charter, with the same effect as if the said fee had been paid immedi-
ately upon the passage of the act of March 4, 1890, incorporating said com-

pany.
Approved January 8, 1894.

Whereas by an act approved March fourth, eighteen hundred and
ninety, & corporation was chartered by the general assembly of Vir-
ginia under the name of the Virginia safe deposit and fidelity com-
pany; and

Whereas by an act approved December the nineteenth, eighteen
hundred and ninety-three, the name of said corporation was changed
to the Virginia trust company; and

Whereas the fee imposed by law on the charter of said corporation
was omitted by inadvertence to be paid until the twenty-second day
of December, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, on which day the
attention of the officers of said corporation was called to said omis-
sion and the said fee was paid: now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That all
acts and proceedings under the charter, or in the organization or
conduct of the affairs of said corporation, and all acts and things
done by or in relation to said corporation, and all contracts made by
or with said corporation prior to the payment of said fee, are hereby
confirmed and declared to be legal and valid, with the same effect

and to the same extent as they would have been if the said fee had

been paid immediately upon the passage of the said act of March

fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety, incorporating said company.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
