Whereas, it is alleged by Charlotte Milhollen that she is the owner for
life of an unimproved lot of land containing one and two-thirds acres,
situated in the village of Philomont,in Loudoun county, devised to her for
life by her husband, Henry Milhollen, deceased, which lot is assessed
in the name of said Henry Milhollen’s estate; and,

Whereas, the said Charlotte Milhollen alleges that the true value of
id lot is only eighty-three dollars, at which it was assessed previously
the assessment of nineteen hundred; and,

Whereas, by a clerical error of the assessor it was assessed at two thou-
nd and twenty dollars in the assessment of nineteen hundred: therefore,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
urt of Loudoun county be, and the same is hereby, authorized and em-
wered to inquire into the facts alleged by the said Charlotte Milhollen

urt that a clerical error was made in assessing the lot of land set forth

d empowered to correct the same and dircct the land-book of Loudoun
unty to be corrected in that particular by ordering the proper official
enter said lot of land on said land-book at the rate of its assessment
ior to the vear nineteen hundred, which said Charlotte Milhollen alleges
have been eighty-three dollars, or at whatever rate the court may deem
st and proper, instead of two thousand and twenty dollars, as now
And said court is further ordered and instructed that if satisfied that
id land was so erroneously assessed as alleged, to enter an order so stat-
g, and ascertaining the amount of the difference in the State, county,

ion and the valuation of two thousand and twenty dollars, as now
sessed, and to certify the same to the treasurer of Loudoun county, who,
