seventy-seven cents, and for licenses for the year eighteen hundred
and eighty-one the sum of one hundred and ninety-two dollara and
2ighty-eight cents, making a total of three hundred and twenty-
three dollars and sixty-five cents; and

Whereas by some oversight no demand was made on said Copen-
haver for the said balance until recently, when suit was instituted
as provided by law against him and his sureties in the circuit court
for the city of Richmond; and

his sureties except one are either dead or insolvent:

sureties be, and they are hereby, released from the payment of in-
terest on the said sum of three hundred and twenty-three dollars
and sixty-five cents due the commonwealth: provided the said prin-
cipal sum, with all costs incurred in the circuit court for the city of
Richmond, be paid to the auditor within the period of sixty days
from the passage of this act.

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