1. Be it enacted by the general assembly, That authority
be given to the auditor of public accounts to suspend collec-
tion of a judgment in the name of the commonwealth

of the county of Fauquier, and his sureties, for a period not
exceeding twelve months: provided, he shall be satisfied
that the same is sufficiently secured by the judgment lien.
But nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit
the auditor from collecting the debt whenever he may think
proper to do so.

required, upon a settlement of the aforesaid judgment, to
receive from said sureties, in discharge of said judgment
against said sureties, payment of the principal, legal inte-
rest, costs, and expenses of collection, abating therefrom the
damages which have been awarded for said default.
