Chap. 83.—An ACT to refund to John R. Dillon, of Southampton county, the
sum of $100 paid into the county court of Southampton county as bail in the
case of the Commonwealth v. Peter Austin, lately pending in said court.

Approved January 18, 1902.

Whereas, at the October term of the county court of Southampton
county, Virginia, John R. Dillon became the bail of one Peter Austin,
who stood indicted for felony; and,

Whereas, the said Peter Austin failed to appear upon the day set for
his trial ; and,
Whereas, by reason of such failure the said John R. Dillon forfeited to
the Commonwealth of Virginia the sum of one hundred dollars, that
being the amount of the bail; and,

Whereas, it appears from the record of the county court of Southamp-
ton county that the said Peter Austin has since been captured and placed
upon his trial for the felony aforesaid and convicted and punished for the
said offense: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts be, and is hercby, authorized and directed to draw his
warrant on the treasurer of the State of Virginia for the sum of one hun-
dred dollars, payable to John R. Dillon, of Southampton county, Vir-
ginia: provided, the auditor of public accounts shall be previously fur-
nished a certificate from the clerk of the county court of Southampton
that the costs attending the collection of said bail have been fully patd.

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