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

By reason of injury received to leg while in service of Confederate
army, and on account of disease and old age, which, together, have
rendered him incapable of supporting himself by labor: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Charlotte shall examine into the condition of the above-named
C. E. Atwell, a Confederate soldier; and should it be that he was true
and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afllicted and
disabled and incapacitated for manual labor on account of injuries re-
ceived in the war; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid
from Virginia, and if the county court of Charlotte 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 C. E. Atwell
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.
