for the relief of Wiley W. Duncan.

Approved March 6, 1900.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That chapter
seven hundred and forty of the acts of the general assembly of Virginia,
session of eighteen hundred and ninety-seven and eighteen hundred and
ninety-eight, entitled an act for the relief of Wiley W. Duncan, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Whereas Wiley W. Duncan, a disabled Confederate soldier of company
A, fifteenth regiment of Virginia infantry, was a true and gallant soldier
during the late war; and

Whereas he is now suffering from the following disabilities—to wit:
having contracted, while in the service of the Confederacy, small-pox
from which he lost his left eye, and so seriously impaired the sight of
his right eye that he cannot perform manual labor; therefore,

§ 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
county court of Scott county shall examine into the condition of the
above named Wiley W. Duncan, a Confederate soldier; and should it
be that he was true and loyal to Virginia through the war, and that
he is now afflicted as above set forth, and from the causes recited, and
in destitute circumstances, and incapacitated for manual labor; that he
is needy and poor and should receive aid from Virginia; and if the
county court of Scott county 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 Wiley W. Duncan on the
pension list, and pay him annually the sum of fifteen dollars, on and
after the first day of April, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight.

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