Chap. 1401.—An ACT for the relief of William C. Muse, of Westmoreland
county.

Approved March 7, 1900.

Whereas William C. Muse, a disabled Confederate soldier of company
C, forty-seventh Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant soldier dur-
ing the late war; was loyal to Virginia; and .

Whereas he is now suffering from a wound in the spine, received at
Spotsylvania courthouse on the second day of May, eighteen hundred
and sixty-four, the result of which wound renders him almost totally
unable to perform manual labor; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
county court of Westmoreland county shall examine into the condition
of the said William C. Muse, a Confederate soldier, and should it be
that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that he is
now afflicted and almost totally disabled from wounds received in said
war, that he is needy and poor and should receive aid from Virginia,
and if the county court of Westmoreland county should send a certifi-
cate of the facts to the auditor of public accounts of Virginia, then the
auditor of public accounts is directed to place the name of William C.
Muse on the pension list, and pay him annually the sum of fifteen
dollars on and after the first day of April, nineteen hundred.

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