soldier.

Approved March 4, 1898.

Whereas James Bright, a disabled Confederate soldier of Company B,
forty-eighth regiment of Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant sol-
dier during the late war; was loyal to Virginia; and

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

From a kidney and spinal affliction contracted while in the military
service of the Southern Confederacy: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
court of Scott shall examine into the condition of the above-named
James Bright, a Confederate soldier, and should it be that he was true
and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afflicted, as
allezed above, and growing old and decrepit and incapacitated for man-
ual labor; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from Vir-
ginia, and if the county court of Scott should send a certificate of the
facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the auditor of
public accounts is directed to place the name of James Bright 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.
