Joval to Virginia through the war, and that he is now afflicted and dis-
abled and incapacitated for manual labor, that he is needy and poor,
and should receive aid from Virginia, and if the county court of Rich-
mond 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 KE. Barret on the pension list and pay him
annually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and after the first day of April,
