Chap. 173.—An ACT to repeal sections 1334, 1335, and 1336 of the Code of Vir-
ginia.

Approved March 14, 1904.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sections
thirteen hundred and thirty-four, thirteen hundred and thirty-five and
thirteen hundred and thirty-six of the Code of Virginia, be, and the
same are hereby, repealed.

2. Such repeal shall not affect or impair any act done or right es-
tablished, accruing, accrued, or acquired, or any liability, penalty, for-
feiture, or punishment incurred prior to the passage of this act, under
or by virtue of any provision of the Code, or amendment thereof, or act
of the general assembly, repealed by the preceding section; but the
same may be asserted, enforced, prosecuted or inflicted as fully and to the
same extent as if the same had not been repealed. All actions and pro-
ceedings, civil or criminal, commenced under or by virtue of any pro-
vision of the Code, or amendment thereof, or act of the general as-
sembly, repealed by the preceding section, and pending at the date of the
passage and approval of this act, may be prosecuted and defended to final
effect in the same manner as they might under the laws then existing,
unless it shall be otherwise specially provided by law. Nothing in this
act contained shall be construed to impair the charter of any corporation
existing at the date of the passage and approval of this act, or any right
or liability which any existing corporation, its officers, directors, stock-
holders, or creditors may have or be subject to, or which any corporation
had or was subject to, at the date of the passage and approval of this act,
by virtue of any provision of the Code, or amendment thereof, or act
of the general assembly, repealed by the preceding section.

3. An emergency existing for the immediate passage of this act, the
same shall be in force from its passage.
