Approved March 8, 1898.

Whereas Thomas W. Prichett, a disabled Confederate soldier of Sturde-
vant’s battery of Virginia, was a true and gallant soldier during the war;
was loyal to Virginia; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disability—to-wit:

Was badly burned by the premature discharge of a gun during the
war, so as todisable him from hard manual labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Albemarle shall examine into the condition of the above-named
Thomas W. Pritchett, a Confederate soldier; and should it be that he
was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now
afflicted and disabled and incapacitated for manual labor by reason of
said injury; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from
Virginia, and if the county court of Albemarle should send a certifi-
cate of the facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the
auditor of public accounts is directed to place the name of Thomas W.
Pritchett on the pension list, and pay him annually the sum of fifteen
dollars, on and after the first day of April, eighteen hundred and ninety-
eight.

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