Approved February 17, 1890.

Whereas it appears from the report of the special legis-
lative committee appointed to investigate certain matters
in the auditor’s office, appointed at the special session of
eightéen hundred and eighty-four, that the accounts of
Peter A. Forbes, clerk of the county and circuit courts of
Buckingham county, were not balanced by said committee
in the books adopted as a part of the records of the
auditor’s office by the act entitled an act for the relief of
clerks, banks, and so forth, approved March third, eighteen
hundred and eighty-six, because of the failure of said
Forbes to file a bill of particulars of payments which he
testified had been made to William R. Smith, late clerk
in the auditor’s office, and the said Forbes, clerk as afore-
said, being therefore not relieved under the terms of the
said act; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That the auditor of public accounts is hereby directed to
credit the accounts of said Forbes, as clerk as aforesaid,
by the payments testified to by him as aforesaid, so as to
relieve him from the liability shown against him in said
books: provided, the amount he is hereby relieved from
shall*not exceed the sum of three hundred and four dol-
lars and twenty-six cents; provided, however, such relief
shall not apply to any hability shown to exist by any
checks, as provided in the third section of said act.
