Chap. 435.—An ACT for the relief of estate of D. B. Long from certain delin-
quent taxes.

Approved February 20, 1900.

Whereas in eighteen hundred and eighty the creditors of Benjamin
D. Long, deceased, filed their bill in chancery in the circuit court for
Culpeper county, Virginia, for subjecting his real estate to the payment
of their debts, and the said suit has been pending ever since on account
of the inability to find purchasers for the land; and

Whereas no taxes have been paid on the land from eighteen hundred
and seventy-three to eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, except for the
year eighteen hundred and eighty-eight, which delinquent tax amounts
to two hundred and forty-nine dollars and eighty-seven cents; and

Whereas the commissioners in the cause on November eleventh,
eighteen hundred and ninety-nine,sold eighty and three-fourths acres of
this land at one dollar and eighty cents to one W. W. Butler, and the re-
maining seventy acres to one F. Kibler at one dollar and eighty cents
per acre, making the total amount received for said land two hundred
and seventy-one dollars and thirty-five cents; and

Whereas the court costs and officer’s fees amount to ninety-one dol-
lars and fifty-three cents, taken from the amount of the purchase
money, leaves one hundred and seventy-nine dollars and eighty-two
cents; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the clerk
of the county court for Culpeper county, Virginia, be, and he is hereby,
directed to receive the sum of one hundred and seventy-nine dollars
and eighty-two cents in full of all delinquent taxes against the estate of
Benjamin D. Long, and he is further directed to mark as satisfied all
delinquent taxes from the years eighteen hundred and seventy-three
to eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, charged against the said land
in the name of Benjamin D. Long’s estate.
