soldier.

Approved March 4, 1896.

Whereas John KE. Collins, of Grayson county, Virginia, was a mem
ber of company K, fifty-first Virginia regiment of the Confederat
army during the late war, serving faithfully for nearly the entir
term of said war; and

Whereas the said John KE. Collins, while in the discharge of hit
duty under orders—to-wit: carrying a message to the captain of hi
company—was thrown from his horse, said horse falling upon the
ice, and thereby receiving a serious and permament injury to hit
right shoulder, which has ever since incapacitated the said John E
Collins from making a living by manual labor to almost as great ar
extent as if he had lost his right arm; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the au
ditor of public accounts be, and he is hereby, directed to enroll the
said John E. Collins on the pension list as entitled to the same pen.
sion as he would receive for the total loss of his arm in the service
to-wit, thirty dollars per annum.

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