Chap. 956.—An ACT for the relief of Robert S. Snellings, a disabled Confederate
soldier.

Approved March 4, 1898.

Whereas Robert S. Snellings, a destitute Confederate soldier of Staf-
ford county, Virginia, is totally disabled by reason of injuries received
and rheumatism contracted while in the Confederate army, and is a help-
less cripple; and

Whereas the total disability of the said Snellings and the causes
thereof were fully proven before the county court of Stafford county, and
so certified by s said court to the auditor of public accounts as appears
from said certificate of application for pension and order of court on file
in the office of the auditor of public accounts; but as this special case is
not in the class described in the general statute as entitled to a pension
of thirty dollars per year, said auditor could not place said Snellings’
name on that list, yet as he is equitably entitled to the same: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts be, and is hereby, directed and authorized to place
the name of Robert S. Snellings on the pension roll as entitled to fifteen
dollars per annum for total disability equal to the loss of a limb.

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