Whereas the five acres of land situated in Ashland magisterial district,
Hanover county, upon which is situated a church building known as
Slash, which church is said to have belonged to the established church;
and whereas the said church was long ago abandoned by its original
congregation, and has, as waste and abandoned land, reverted to the
commonwealth; and whereas this congregation, known and called the
Slash Christian church, has now for more than thirty years been wor-
shiping in said church, and has for that time had exclusive control and
occupancy of the said church and have kept the building in repair; and
whereas the said building is now in need of repair, which the said con-
gregation are desirous of doing but deem it unwise to do so until they
have the legal title to. the land upon which it stands: therefore
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the legal
title to the said five acres of land upon which the said Slash church now
stands, situated in Ashland magisterial district, Hanover county, be,
and the same is hereby, vested in F. H. Holliday, Mistress R. A. Camp-
bell, K. T. Jenkins, Samuel N. Kersey, Mistress A. G. Smith, I. A. Tignor,
and J.T. W inglield, trustees, and their successors as such trustees for the
