Approved March 17, 1916.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
if any person, with intent to cheat and defraud, shall solicit and
obtain from any licensed merchant any goods, wares or mer-
chandise for examination or approval, and shall thereafter, upon
written demand, refuse or fail to return the same to such mer-
chant in unused condition, or to pay for the same, such person
so offending shall be deemed guilty of the larceny thereof.

But the provisions of this act shall not apply unless such
written demand be made within five days after delivery, and
unless the goods, wares or merchandise shall have attached to
them or to the package in which they are contained a label, card
or tag containing the words, “Delivered for selection or ap-
proval.” .
