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

hundred and eighty-eight, entitled, “An act to amend and re-
enact an act entitled an act to incorporate the town of South
Boston, in the county of Halifax,’ be amended and re-enacted
so as to read as follows:

§11. Where by the provision of this act the council have
authority to pass ordinances on any subject, they may prescribe
punishment by fine or imprisonment, or both, for all violations
thereof, and may require of persons convicted of violations of
such ordinances bonds, conditioned that they will not violate
such ordinances under which they have been convicted; provid-
ed, that in no case shall the fine exceed one hundred dollars, or
the imprisonment six months, or the bond five hundred dollars;
and provided, further, that any person so convicted shall have
the right to appeal to the circuit court of Halifax county, in any
case in which the judgment against him shall be imprisonment,
or the fine exceed ten dollars. Whenever judgment is rendered
against any person for a fine, the officer trying the offender may
require immediate payment thereof; and, in default of such
payment, may commit the party so in default, to the town jail
or prison house, or to the jail of Halifax county, until the fine
and costs be paid, or may compel him to work out such fine on
the public streets or other improvements. All fines for vio-
lations of the ordinances of said town shall be paid into the
treasury, and be appropriated as the council may determine.
