lant soldier during the late war; was loyal to Virginia and the Con-
federacy; and

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

By being struck in the hip by a fragment of shell, bone broken
through and through, leaving a very large hole in flesh, which is tender
and much of the time he cannot work; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
corporation court of Lynchburg shall examine into the condition of
the above-named W. A. Turpin, a Confederate soldier; and should it
he that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that
he is now afflicted, and suffering from wound, and incapacitated for
manual abor; that he is needy and poor, and should receive aid from
Virginia, and if corporation court of Lynchburg should send a certi-
ficate of the facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then
the auditor of public accounts is directed to place the name of W. A.
Turpin on the pension list, and pay him annually the sum of thirty
dollars on and after the first day of April, nineteen hundred.

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