Chap. 294.—An ACT for the relief of W. H. Ewing, treasurer of Prince Edward
county.

Approved February 12, 1896.

Whereas it appears from satisfactory evidence that W. H. Ewing
had, on August first, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, the sum of
three thousand and six dollars and one cent, licenses taxes due the
commonwealth, deposited in the commercial savings bank, Farm-
ville, Virginia, to his credit as treasurer, and said sum was lost in
the failure of said bank at that date without default on his part; and
whereas said Ewing brought suit against said bank to recover the
aforesaid debt and has collected thereon the sum of nine hundred
and thirty-one dollars and eighty-six cents, all of which he has paid
into the state treasury ; and whereas said suit is still pending: now,
therefore.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That W.
H. Ewing, treasurer of Prince Edward county, be, and he is hereby,
allowed until December thirty-first, eighteen hundred and ninety-
seven, to settle with the commonwealth the debt due as hereinbefore
set forth; provided the sureties of said Ewing file with the auditor
of public accounts their assent, in writing, to this extension of time,
and no interest shall be charged on this debt or any part thereof.

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