CHAP. 633.—An ACT in relation to working the public roads in
the county of Campbell.

Approved March 8, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That every person required to work on the public roads in
the county of Campbell shall, either in person or by a
sufficient substitute, when notified by the proper surveyor,
attend with proper tools and work the roads on such days
as the surveyor may direct: provided, however, that no
person shall be required to work on the public roads more
than two days in any one year. For every day on which
there may be a failure a fine of seventy-five cents shall be
paid to the surveyor, within thirty days thereafter, by the
person in default, if of full age, or, if an infant, by his
parent or guardian. If the fine be not paid to the sur-
veyor within the time above specified, he shall make out
a ticket against such delinquent party for the amount
thereof, with an addition of ten per centum costs, which
ticket shall be placed by him in the hands of the con-
stable of his district, or the sheriff of the county for col-
lection. The officer having charge of the collection of
such fines may distrain therefor or otherwise collect the
3ame in the mode prescribed for the, collection of taxes
and county levies. He shall account to the surveyor for
all fines collected by him, dividing the costs collected
equally with the surveyor, and return to the clerk of the
county court annually, at the March term, a list of all
fines so collected, with the names of the surveyors to
whom the same have been paid, and the clerk shal! label
and file the same in his office. The surveyor shall take a
receipt for each ticket so placed in the hands of said con-
stable or sheriff, and if the same is not collected and paid
over to him within ninety days from the date of the re-
ceipt, he shall return said receipts to the clerk of the
county court, who shall label and file the same in his
office, and immediately inform the commonwealth’s attor-
ney thereof, whose duty it shall be, without delay, to insti-
tute a proceeding by motion against such constable or
sheriff, as the case may be, and his sureties on his official
bond, to recover the aggregate amount of such tickets as
shown by said receipts, and may direct the said clerk to
summons such witnesses as he may deem necessary in the
prosecution of said motion. And if, upon the trial of said
motion, it shall appear to the court that any of said
tickets have not been collected, but, by due diligence on the
part of the officer, might have been collected, or that any
have been collected and not paid over to the surveyor, in
either case judgment shall be given against such constable
or sheriff, as the case may be, and his sureties, for the
amount of tickets collected and not paid over, as well as
for the amount of tickets which,with due diligence, might
have been collected, together with the costs of said motion,
including a fee of two and one-half dollars to the attorney
for the commonwealth and fifty cents to the said clerk. All
sums of money, recovered in any motion under this section
shall be expended on the county roads as the court may di-
rect. The motion shall be in the name of the commonwealth:
provided, however, that such delinquent may, after notice
to such surveyor, apply to the county court or judge
thereof in vacation, or to the supervisor of his district, at
any time before said receipts are returned to the clerk,
and for good cause shown have said fine released or re-
mitted; or such delinquent may, before the ticket goes
into the hands of the constable or sheriff, discharge the
fine by labor upon his road precinct: provided further,
that if any person is idle and slothful in his work upon the
public roads, and fails or refuses to perform such reason-
able service as may be required of him, he may be forth-
with discharged by his surveyor, and a ticket made out
against him and collected in the manner above provided
for the collection of road fines.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.

thereof.
