CHAP. 178.—An ACT to provide for jurors in cities that have been in-
corporated less than two years.. (H. B. 389.)

Approved March 16, 1916.

_ 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
in any city in this Commonwealth which has been incorporated
for a period of less than two years, the corporation court, or
the judge thereof in vacation, is hereby authorized and empow-
ered, of his or its own motion, to cause to be summoned a suffi-
cient number of jurors for the trial of civil and criminal cases
that are to be heard before the corporation court of such city
from the persons who are eligible as jurors in any county or
city within a radius of twenty miles from such newly incorpo-
rated city.

2. That the court, or judge of such newly created city is
hereby authorized and empowered to cause the sheriff or city
sergeant of such county or other city within the radius of
twenty miles, to summons a venire of jurors to attend any
term of the corporation court or the hustings court of such
newly created city; and a venire so summoned shall report to
the court at the time summoned, and be as fully qualified for
service as jurors as though they were residents of such newly
created city.

3. That the jurors summoned from such other county or
city shall be entitled to mileage and attendance, payable as pre-
scribed by general law.

4. This act shall be construed to amplify the existing laws
of the Commonwealth and not as repealing or affecting any
other statute relating to jurors.
