of Powhatan.

Approved January 27, 1903.

Whereas, the late T. M. Miller, judge of the county court of the county
of Powhatan, departed this life during his term of office without having
signed certain proceedings duly entered of record by the clerk of the
court over which he presided ; and,

Whereas, the failure to sign said proceedings embraced all of the time
from the sixteenth day of January, nineteen hundred and two, to and
including the fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and two; now, there-
fore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the proceed-
ings of the county court of the county of Powhatan, beginning on the six-
teenth day of January, nineteen hundred and two, and continuing up to
and including the fourth day of June, nineteen hundred and two, as
recorded by the clerk of said court, be, and the same is hereby, declared
to be of the same force and effect as if the same had been duly read and
signed by the presiding judge of said court during the term of said court,
as by statute directed. And the clerk of said court is hereby directed to
sign his name to said records in attestation thereof, and to note on the
margin suitable reference to this act.
