Chap. 43.—An ACT for the relief of A. M. Pierce from the payment
of a tine and costs of same.

Approved February 4, 1880.

Whereas at the January term, eighteen hundred and eighty,
of the hustings court of the city of Staunton, a fine was im-
posed on A. M. Pierce for two hundred dollars, on an indict-
ment charging him with a violation of the revenue laws, in
this, that being an agent for the firm of Finch, Brother and
Company, sample merchants of Baltimore, Maryland, he did
not have his license on his person when asked to show the same
by a policeman in the city of Staunton; and it appearing that
he had a license, but that the same had been by him accident-
ally left with his baggage, and that there was no intentional
violation of the laws of the commonwealth; therefore,

A. M. Pierce, of the town of Winchester, in the county of
Frederick, be and he is hereby relieved from the payment of a
fine of two hundred dollars and the cost attending the same,
imposed on him by a judgment of the hustings court of the
city of Staunton at the January term of eighteen hundred and
eighty of said court.
