Chap. 272.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 751 of the code of Virginia,
in relation to when suits may not be brought.

Approved February 135, 1894.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion seven hundred and fifty-one of the code of Virginia be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 751. When suits may not be brought, no such petition or bill as is
mentioned in section seven hundred and forty-six shall be presented
or filed, and no such suit as is mentioned in the sixth subdivision
of section three thousand two hundred and fourteen shall be
brought after ten years from the time the claim might have been
presented or asserted. If, however, the person having such claim
was an infant, married woman (whose claim was not or did not con-
cern her separate estate), insane or imprisoned at the time the same
might have been presented or asserted, such petition or bill may be
presented or filed and such suit may be brought within five years
after the removal of such disability; but in all cases where taxes or
fees have been paid to the state in connection with, for or on ac-
count of charters heretofore granted by the courts, no proceeding
against the state or any of its officers looking to the recovery of such
fees or taxes, whether by bill or otherwise, shall be entertained by
any court of the commonwealth.

2. Any acts or parts of acts in conflict herewith are hereby to
that extent repealed.

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