Chap. 938.—An ACT for the relief of William E. F. Robertson, of Pittsylvania
county. |
Approved March 4, 1898.
Whereas William E. F. Robertson, a Confederate soldier, of Pittsy]-
vania county, was wounded in the Confederate army at Malvern Hill, on
the first day of July, eighteen hundred and sixty-two, in such a manner
as to totally disable him for manual labor, and he is technically denied
the benefits of an act to provide pensions for soldiers or sailors of Vir-
ginia, wounded or disabled in war between the states: therefore,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts be, and is hereby, directed to place ‘the name of Wil-
liam E. F. Robertson on the pension rolls, as entitled to a pension of
fifteen dollars per annum: provided it first be proven before the county
court of Pittsylvania that the facts herein alleged are true, and that it is
further proved that he is in poor and needy circumstances, and certificate
of said facts shall be certified to the auditor.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
