Chap. 650.—An ACT for the relief of William Isom, senior’s
personal representative and estate.

Approved March 8, 1892.

Whereas at a county court held for Grayson county,
December third, eighteen hundred and eighty-nine, Wil-
liam Isom, senior, was tried on tndictment in said county
for retailing liquor without a license, and was found guilty
and fined one hundred dollars and thirty dollars and thir-
ty-seven cents costs; and whereas in the trial of said
cause that William Isom had sold only twenty-five cents
worth of liquor; and whereas in the year eighteen hun-
dred and ninety-one, the said William Isom departed this
life without paying off the said fine and costs, leaving a
wife and six infant children in destitute circumstances,
leaving a small farm, worth about two hundred dollars,
the only property he owned at the time of his death; and
whereas to force the payment of the fine and costs afore-
said out of this small farm would have the effect to en-
tirely break the family up and drive the children to the
poor-house of the county; therefore, —

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That William Isom’s personal representative and his es-
tate, be, and is hereby, relieved of the payment of said fine
aforesaid of the county court of Grayson county, rendered
at the December term, eighteen hundred and eighty-nine,
against William Isom, senior, now deceased.

2. This act shall be enforced from its passage.
