CHAP. 18.—An ACT to re-enact chapter 49, code of Assembly
1874, for the relief of sheriffs in the service of civil process [in
of other counties than the one in which they reside.

Approved January 16, 1890.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia
That no sheriff or other officer shall be required to execute
any order, notice, summons, or other process in a Civil

A3
case, except a writ of fieri facias, sent him from any court
or other source beyond the limits of his county, unless the
fee for the service thereof and necessary postage accom-
pany the same. If said sheriff or other officer fail to
execute such process from any cause he shal] return it,
and return therewith the amount of fee sent him; other-
wise he shall be liable to the same penalty, to be enforced
in the same manner, as now prescribed by law for failure
to return process.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
