Chap. 611.—An ACT to dedicate and convey all right and title
of the State in certain lote situated in Bedford City, Virginia,
to parties to whom same have been heretofore conveyed.

Approved March 3, 1892,

Whereas, on the twenty-second day of January, eighteen
hundred and fifty, Joseph Wilson conveyed to Thomas L.
Leftwich and others, elders in the Presbyterian church,
by deed recorded in the clerk’s office of Bedford county
court, certain lots of land, numbered forty-seven, forty-
eight, forty-nine, fronting on the north cross-street, in the
town of Liberty, in the said county, and also a lot of land
joining the foregoing lots, containing one and seven-
tenths acres, to be held by the grantees for the use of the
church and religious congregation attached thereto, and
their successors, according to the conditions and trusts
mentioned in the said deed of conveyance; and whereas
the said grantees and their successors in office have, ac-
cording to the direction of the session of the Presbyterian
church, as mentioned in the said deed, sold and conveyed
the property mentioned in the said deed to various par-
ties, and a doubt having arisen as to whether the trusts
mentioned in the said deed are valid, and whether the
said property may not have reverted or become vested in
the state of Virginia; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That all right and title in or to the said property that may
have passed to or become vested in the state of Virginia
under the deed aforesaid be, and the same is hereby, released
and conveyed to the respective parties to whom the said
grantees and their successors in office in the deed men-
tioned may have conveyed the said property, or any part
thereof; and all right and title of this state in or to any
of the above property not heretofore conveyed by the said
grantees, or their successors in office, is hereby released to
them, to be disposed of in fee simple, according to the
directions of the session of the Presbyterian church at
Bedford City.

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