Chap. 810.—An ACT for the relief of Robert 8. Robertson, a disabled Confeder-
ate soldier.
Approved March 4, 1896.
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
auditor of public accounts be, and he is hereby, authorized to place
the name of Robert S. Robertson, of the county of Frederick, who
was 8 member of company K, seventh regiment of cavalry, Rosser’s
brigade, on the list of Confederate soldiers who lost both legs in the
late war who are entitled to commutation to disabled soldiers allowed
by an act of the general assembly as approved March fifth, eighteen
hundred and eighty-eight, as amended by an act approved March
first, eighteen hundred and ninety-two, and that said Robert S. Rob-
ertson, as such disabled soldier, be entitled to the profits and pro-
visions of said act of assembly as fully as if he had lost said limbs
in action to the amount of sixty dollars, he having had his right leg
shattered by a shell at Spotsylvania courthouse on twelfth May,
eighteen hundred and sixty-three, as heretofore proven in the county
court of Frederick county at the April term, eighteen hundred and
eighty-eight; and said leg having become diseased for so long its
amputation would result in death, as shown by the affidavits of
several physicians; and it also being shown that the left leg, by the
long excessive strain, is giving away, a8 well as his whole physical
structure, and that his weakness and suffering, coupled with his
poverty, entitle him to the full benefits of the aforesaid act. A copy
of this act, as well as the usual certificate of the court for the term
aforesaid shall be certified to the auditor of public accounts by the
clerk of said county court.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
