Approved March 25, 1926.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
governor of Virginia may, from time to time, designate some other
circuit judge or some judge of a city or corporation court of a city of
the first class to hold a term or terms of court in one or more of the
counties of the twenty-seventh judicial circuit of Virginia, as provided
by section fifty-eight ninety-eight of the Code of Virginia, as hereto-
fore amended, or the governor of Virginia, may from time to time
designate a judge of a city or corporation court of a city of the second
class to hold a term or terms of court in one or more of the said counties
of the said twenty-seventh judicial circuit court of Virginia, and the
judge so designated to hold said court, from a city of the second class
shall have the same powers and authority and subjection to all of the
provisions, in holding said court or courts as he would be under said
section fifty-eight hundred and ninetv-eight of the Code.
The said judge holding the said court in the said twenty-seventh
judicial circuit of Virginia, shall be paid as provided by said section
fifty-eight hundred and ninety-eight of the Code of Virginia by the
county in which said court or courts are held, except at the rate of
fifteen dollars per diem and the other two counties composing said
judicial circuit shall each reimburse to the county paying such judge
one-third each of the amount paid to such judge.

2. By reason of the fact that the public interest requires that some
of said courts be held as soon as possible, an emergency is hereby de-
clared to exist, and this act shall be in force from its passage.
