bond as such deputy treasurer; and whereas at settlement
of the treasurer with the board of supervisors of Albe-
marle county for the three years above named, the board
refused to allow tax tickets, to a very considerable amount,
to be returned delinquent; and whereas said Parrot has
been compelled to account for between six and seven hun-
dred dollars, which are represented by tax tickets which
he has never been able to collect, and which, by the action
of said board in not allowing their return as delinquent,
represent a loss to him and his sureties of that amount
through no fault of theirs; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That the board of supervisors of Albemarle county is au-
thorized and empowered to make a settlement with said
William T. Parrott, and in making such settlement shall
inquire and ascertain what county tax tickets for the
years eighteen hundred and eighty-two, eighteen hundred
and eighty-three and eighteen hundred and eighty-four
said Parrott could not have collected by due diligence, and
which may, therefore, be considered as a loss sustained
by him by reason of the action of said board in refusing
to allow their return as delinquent; ‘and said board of
supervisors are hereby empowered to refund said Parrott
such portion of said tax tickets as were levied for county
taxes, and which they may determine said Parrott could
not have collected.
