CHAP. 142.—An ACT to allow notaries or other officer who hold
stock in companies to take acknowledgments to deeds or other
writing which said companies execute, provided said notaries
or other officer are in no otherwise interested.

Approved February 2, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That no acknowledgment heretofore or hereafter taken to
any deed or other writing executed by a company shall be
held to be invalid by reason of said acknowledgment hav-
ing been taken by a notary public or other officer who at
the time of taking said acknowledgment was a stock-
holder in the company which executed said deed or
writing, and who was in no otherwise interested, and the
record of any such deed or writing heretofore made shall
in all respects be deemed valid, notwithstanding the fact
that the notary or other officer was at the time of such
acknowledgment a stockholder in the company executing
said deed or writing: provided said notary public or other
officer was in no otherwise interested when said acknow-
ledgment was taken.
