1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section sixty-five hundred and six of the Code of Virginia, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 6506. How debtor may be arrested and held to answer.—
If any person summoned under section sixty-five hundred and three
shall fail to appear and answer, or shall make any answers which
are deemed by the commissioner to be evasive, or if having answered
shall fail to make such conveyance and delivery as is required by
section sixty-five hundred and four, the said commissioner shall
issue a writ directed to the sheriff of any county or sheriff, sergeant
or high constable of any city, requiring such sheriff, sergeant or high
constable, to take the person so in default and keep him safely until
he shall make proper answers, or such conveyance or delivery, as
the case may be, and upon making such answers, or such conveyance
and delivery, he shall be discharged by said commissioner. He
may also be discharged by the court from whose clerk’s office the
fieri facias issued, or by the judge thereof in vacation, in any case if
the court or judge shall be of opinion that he was improperly com-
mitted, or is improperly or unlawfully detained in custody.
