Approved March 4, 1498.

Whereas Lindsey Eads, a resident of Scott county, who was an honora-
ble and gallant Confederate soldier of the fourth Virginia regiment, Com-
pany A, Stonewall brigade, was captured at Spotsylvania courthouse on
the twelfth day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-three; was taken to
Point Lookout, Maryland, and imprisoned, and from there the said
Linsey Eads was taken to Elmira, New York, and placed in prison and
kept there until the close of the war; while in prison he contracted dis-
ease which has impaired his health all through life and incapacitated
him for manual labor; he is now sixty-nine years old, infirm and in
needy circumstances, which should entitle him to a pension: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That upon proof
of the alleged facts before the county court of Scott county, the auditor
of public accounts is directed to pay him annually the sum of fifteen
dollars out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated,
commencing January the first, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.

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