1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion three thousand and forty-nine of the code of Virginia, eighteen
hundred and eighty-seven, be amended and re-enacted so as to read
as follows:

§ 3049. When judge of a county or corporation court fails to hold
sane, what judge may do so; when governor to designate judge to do
80; his pay and mileage.—If a judge of a county or corporation
court be unable or fail to attend a regular term of his court, or be
prevented from sitting during the whole term, or any part thereof, if
he be so situated as to render it improper, in his judgment, for him
to decide any cause or preside at the trial thereof, and it be so entered
of record, or if from death or any other cause, there be no judge of
such county or corporation court, the judge of any other county
court may hold said county court, and any circuit judge or the judge
of any other corporation court may hold said corporation court,
either for the whole term or any part thereof. When a vacancy,
either by death or resignation, exists in the office of judge of a
county or corporation court, the clerk of such court shall certify the
fact to the governor of the state, who is hereby authorized to desig-
nate a judge of any other county court to bold the regular terms of
the county court in which such vacancy exists, and to designate any
circuit judge or a judge of any other corporation court to hold the
regular terms of the corporation court in which such vacancy exists,
until the vacancy be filled; and for any service provided for in this
section, said judge shall receive the mileage prescribed by law, and
five dollars per day for the time he is actually engaged in holding
court, to be paid out of the treasury of the county or corporation in
which said court is held: provided, however, that this section shall
not apply to the hustings court or to the chancery court of the city
of Richmond.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
