Approved March 24, 1926.
1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
fifty-nine hundred and five of the Code of Virginia, be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 5905. Corporation or hustings courts; cities first and
second class.—For the purpose of a judicial system, the following
cities, which as shown by the United States census of nineteen hundred
and ten, or other census provided by law, contain ten thousand in-
habitants or more, to-wit: Alexandria, Danville, Lynchburg, New-
port News, Norfolk, Petersburg, Portsmouth, Richmond, Roanoke,
Staunton, Hopewell, and Charlottesville, are declared to be cities of
the first class; and all other cities in the state to be cities of the second
class.
_ The corporation or hustings courts established and existing the
day before this Code takes effect in each of the above-named cities
of the first class, are continued with the same name under which they
had been previously known, and shall be taken and deemed to be the
corporation courts required by the constitution to be established in
said cities. The corporation or hustings court of the city of Roanoke,
by whatever name heretofore known or called, shall be hereafter
named and called the hustings court of the city of Roanoke.
The corporation courts established and existing the day before
this Code takes effect, in each of the following named cities of the
second class, to-wit: Fredericksburg, Winchester, Bristol, Radford,
and Buena Vista, are continued under the name of the corporation
court of such city, and shall be so known and held until the same shall
be abolished by a vote of the people of such city, as provided in the
Constitution. Each of such courts shall be held by a judge with like
qualifications and elected in the same manner as judges of the supreme
court of appeals.
