Chap. 472.—_An ACT to authorize the county court of Wythe county to take
evidence and, in its discretion, to correct an alleged erroneous assessment of
the lands of Engleby mineral mining company, in said county, and the taxes
assessed thereon.

Approved February 28, 1894.

Whereas it is claimed by Engleby mineral mining company that
the assessors of lands for the county of Wythe, acting under the
provisions of chapter twenty-three of the code of Virginia of eigh-
teen hundred and eighty-seven, and the subsequent acts of assembly
in amendment thereof, in making their assessment of lands in
said county in the year eighteen hundred and ninety, made an error
in the assessment of the lands of the said Engleby mineral mining
company in said county, the said lands of the said Engleby mineral
mining company being assumed by the said assessors to be mineral
land: now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
time from the passage of this act until the first day of December,
eighteen hundred and ninety-four, be allowed to the said Engleby
mineral mining company for the purpose of making application to
the county court of the county of Wythe for the correction of any
erroneous assessment of the lands of the Engleby mineral mining
company in said county, made in the year eighteen hundred and
ninety, under the provisions of chapter twenty-three of the code of
Virginia of eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, and the subsequent
acts of assembly in amendment thereof, after first giving such notice
as is provided for in section four hundred and forty-four of said
code; and the said court is hereby authorized and empowered, upon
such application being made within the time stated, to correct any
such erroneous assessment of lands as may seem to it proper: pro-
viding that nothing in this act shall be construed to allow any re-
funding of taxes paid on the said land.

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