four hundred and fifty-nine of the Code of Virginia, eighteen hundred
and eighty-seven, as amended by the act approved February ninth, eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-eight, and section four hundred and sixty-one
of the Code of Virginia, eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, be

§459. Clerks to make out annually lists of deeds; what lists to con-
tain——The clerk of the court of every county or corporation shall an-
nually, on or before the fifteenth of February, make out a list of all
deeds for the partition and conveyance of land other than deeds of trust
and mortgages made to secure the payment of debts, and shall also
make out, on a separate sheet at the same time, a list of all deeds of
trust and mortgages on land, as well as deeds of trust on personal prop-
erty made to secure the payment of debts, which have been admitted
to record in the clerk’s office of such court within the year ending on the
thirty-first day of January next preceding, which first-mentioned list
shall state the date of the deed, when admitted to record, the names of
grantors and grantees, the quantity of land conveyed, the specified
value thereof, and a description of the same; and the last-mentioned list
shall state the date of the deed of trust or mortgage, when admitted
to record, the name of the grantor, the names of the creditors, and the
amount of debt to each secured by the deed of trust or the mortgagee
in the mortgage, and the amount of debt secured thereby and the
property conveyed in such deed of trust or mortgage: provided, how-
ever, that copies of the list last mentioned shall only be furnished to
the commissioners of the revenue as provided by section four hundred
and sixty-one, and not to the auditor of public accounts, the object of
the said Jast-mentioned list being simply to give to the commissioners
of the revenue the amount of debts secured so that the same may be
listed for taxation in the manner provided by law.

§461. List to be sent by clerks to auditor, and copies delivered to
commissioner.—Every list mentioned in either of the two preceding
sections shall, immediately after the fifteenth day of February, be trans-
mitted to the auditor of public accounts, and a copy thereof delivered
hv the clerk to the commissioner for his county or corporation; or if
there be more commissioners than one, the clerk shall deliver to
each a copy, or at least so much thereof as relates to lands within his
district. If any clerk fail for one month after the expiration of the said
year to perform any of the duties required of him by this section, or
either of the two preceding sections, he shall for such failure forfeit one
hundred dollars.
