Chap. 1121.—An ACT for the relief of John H. Campbell, a disabled Confed-
erate soldier.

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas John H. Campbell, a disabled Confederate soldier, residing
in Washington county, Virginia, by reason of a wound rec cived in the
late war between the ‘states, applied for a pension for injury equivalent
to loss of arm, and was rejected by the judge of Washington county court,
though the wound incapacitates him for manual labor to a greater degree
than the loss of an eye, arm or leg, and as result, while disabled from
manual labor and very destitute, he receives no pension at all, and it
appears from the testimony of physicians that he is disabled and injured
to a degree; therefore,

Be it enacted by ‘the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts is directed to enroll the said John H. Campbell on the
pension rolls of Virginia as entitled to a pension provided by laws of this
state to those soldiers who lost an eye, arm or leg in the late war between
the states, or who sustained an injury equivalent thereto: provided,
however, that before the auditor shall be authorized to place the name
of said John H. Campbell on such list the said Campbell shall prove
before the county court of Washington county, by competent and suili-
cient testimony, that he is suffering from a wound and disability equal
to a loss of a leg or an eye or an arm with respect to incapacitating him
from manual labor, and that such wound or disability was contracted and
incurred by said Campbell in the military service of the state, and said
Campbell shall produce to the auditor of public accounts the certificate
of said court showing the proof and testimony aforesaid, and that said
court is satisfied as to the truth and correctness of the same.

2. This act shall be enforced from its passage.
