Approved February 21, 1871.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section two of an act to fix the time of holding the corpora-
tion courts of the commonwealth, approved May sixth, eighteen
hundred and seventy, be amended and re-enacted so as to read
as follows:
Ҥ 2. The judge of every such corporation court may from
time to time change the day for the commencement of the
terms thereof, or any of them. The clerk of such court,
within thirty days after such change, shall send a copy of the
order making it to the clerk of the house of delegates, and if
he fail to do so shall forfeit fifty dollars. The judge of said
court may also select the terms at which he will try criminal
cases, and he may designate four or more-terms of such court
for the trial of civil cases in which juries are required, and the
same terms may be designated for the trial of both civil and
criminal cases: and thereafter, until otherwise ordered, all
cases cognizable in such court in which juries are required,
except criminal cases and cases of forcible entry and unlawful
detainer, shall be tried only at such terms as are so designated.

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