1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That in any

suit pending in any of the courts of this Commonwealth, circuit or
corporation, in which an infant is entitled to a fund arising from the sale
of lands for a division or otherwise, or as distributee of any estate, and
the amount to which said infant is entitled is less than three hundred
dollars, it shall be lawful for the said court, without the intervention
of a guardian, upon its being made to appear to said court that the said
infant is of sufficient age and discretion to use said fund judiciously, to
cause said fund to be paid directly to said infant; and in any case in which
said infant is of such tender years, or is otherwise incapable or incom-
petent to handle said fund, it shall be lawful for the court, in its discre-
tion, to cause said fund to be paid to one of the parents of said infant
for the education, maintenance, and support of said infant; or in the
event that there is no living parent capable-of handling said fund, to
cause said fund to be applied to the maintenance and support of said
infant by other means.
