1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
(c) of an act entitled an act to regulate the confession of judgments in
the office of the clerk of any court of record in the Commonwealth of
Virginia and to prescribe the procedure thereon, approved March
twenty-seventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-two, as amended by
an act approved April third, nineteen hundred and twenty-three, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section (c) Such confession of judgment may be made either by
the debtor himself or by his duly constituted attorney in fact, acting
under and by virtue of a warrant duly executed and acknowledged by
him as deeds are required to be acknowledged, before any officer or
person authorized to take acknowledgments of writings to be recorded
in Virginia; provided, however, that any warrant incorporated in,
and made part of any note or bond authorizing the confession of
judgment thereon against the makers and endorsers, in the event of
default in the payment thereof at maturity, need not be acknowledged,
but such warrant shall specifically name therein, the attorney, or
attorneys, or other person or persons authorized to confess such judg-
ment and the clerk’s office in which the judgment is to be confessed,
and any judgment confessed on such note or bond, in accordance with
all the other provisions of this act, by either of the persons therein
authorized to confess the same, and in the clerk’s office therein desig-
nated, shall be as final and binding as if said warrant had been acknowl-
edged by the makers and endorsers of such note or bond.
