thousand nine hundred and thirty-three of the code of Virginia
eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, be amended and re-enacted so as t

§$ 2933. Where any such right as is mentioned in this chapter shal
accrue against a person who, by departing without this state or by al
scunding or concealing himself. or bv continuing to reside without th
state, or by any other indirect way or means, shall obstruct the prosecu-
tion of such right, the time that such obstruction may have continued
shall not be computed as any part of the time in which the said right
might or ought to have been prosecuted. But this section shall not
avail against any other person than him so obstructing, notwithstanding
another might have been jointly sued with him if there had been no
such obstruction. And upon a contract which was made and was to be
performed in another state or country by a person who then resided
therein no action shall be maintained after the right of action thereon is
barred by the laws of such state or country.
