Chap. 414.—An ACT for the relief of o. T. Lawson,a wounded Confederate
soldier.

Approved February 26, 1894.

Whereas C. T. Lawson, of the county of Patrick and state of Vir-
ginia, and an ex-Confederate soldier, was ruptured while in the
service during the war between the states so as to render him unfit
for manual labor to the extent that the loss of a limb would disable
him; and whereas the said C. T. Lawson made application for com-
mutation in the county court of the county of Patrick, and his dis-
abilities were proved, and the same were approved and ordered to be
certified to the auditor by the judge of said county; but as this spe-
cial case is not in the class as described in the general statutes as
entitled to a pension of thirty dollars per year, said auditor could
not place said Lawson’s name on the pension roll, yet he is equitably
entitled to the same: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
auditor of public account be, and he is hereby, directed and au-
thorized to place the name of C. T. Lawson on the pension roll as
entitled to thirty dollars per annum for total disability equal to that
of a loss of a limb.

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