CHAP. 470.—An ACT to refund to J. W. T. Warren, of Page
county, Virginia, certain taxes improperly paid by him.

Approved February 29, 1892.

Whereas the treasurer of Page county did, on the
twenty-third day of January, eighteen hundred and eighty-
eight, sell for delinquent taxes two hundred and twenty-
four acres of land in the name of the Virginia iron and
ore company, the said land being sold by said treasurer
for taxes delinquent on said land for the year eighteen
hundred and eighty-six; and whereas J. W. T. Warren,
the purchaser of said land at said sale, did pay the costs
and said taxes on the said land for the years from eighteen
hundred and eighty-six to eighteen hundred and eighty-
nine, inclusive, which amounted for the said four years to
eighteen dollars and twenty-one cents; and whereas it
appears by a statement of the said treasurer of Page
county, William O. Yager, that the same taxes were also
paid to him by William Cubbage (to whom the said land
was deeded, but not transferred on the land book), for the
vears eighteen hundred and eighty-six and eighteen hun-
dred and eighty-seven, the commissioner of court who
sold the said land for the benefit of the said William
Cubbage’s creditors, paid out of the purchase money the
taxes on the said land for the year eighteen hundred and
eighty-eight, and Albert Vrands, who purchased the said
lands at the said commissioner’s sale, paid the taxes on
the said land for the year eighteen hundred and eighty-
nine, the state thereby receiving the taxes twice on the
same two hundred and twenty-four acres of land for the
years from eighteen hundred and eighty-six to eighteen
hundred and eighty-nine, inclusive; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That the auditor of public accounts be, and he is horeby,

97
directed to draw his warrant on the treasurer of the com-
monwealth of Virginia in favor of J. W. T. Warren for
eighteen dollars and twenty-one cents, payable out of any
money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the
same being the amount erroneously paid into the treasury
for delinquent taxes as above specified.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
