Chap. 420.—An ACT to relieve William E. Taylor, late treasurer of Scott county,
and his sureties on his official bond as treasurer of Scott county, Virginia.

Approved March 29, 1902.

Whereas, sundry claims are being asserted, under section eight hun-
dred and sixty-three-of the Code of Virginia, against William E. Taylor,
late treasurer of Scott county, and his sureties on his official bonds upon
warrants payable out of the funds in his hands to the credit of the said
county or to the school fund thereof, to which claims, if established,
damages at the rate of ten per centum per month may be added under
said section; and,

Whereas, such damages would now amount to several times the amount
of said warrants, and would be an excessive recovery against said William
E. Taylor and his sureties: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That William E.
Taylor, late treasurer of Scott county, and his sureties on his official
bonds as treasurer of Scott county are hereby relieved and released from
any liability to pay said damages, but this act shall not operate to relieve
or release said sureties from their liability to pay the amounts of said
warrants and legal interest thereon, and the costs of said suits, as pre-
scribed in said section.

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