ginia, as amended, in relation to compensation and mileage of jurors in
criminal cases. [S B 116]

Approved March 10, 1928

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion forty-nine hundred and twenty-eight of the Code of Virginia,
as amended, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 4928. Every person summoned as a juror in a criminal
case shall be entitled to two dollars and fifty cents for each day of
attendance upon the court, and mileage at the rate of five cents per
mile for each mile of travel on each day of such attendance (except
when they are kept together and their éxpenses are paid by the
State) by most direct route in going to and returning from court;
but such mileage shall in no case exceed two dollars per day; pro-
vided, however, that each juror summoned from one county or city
to try a criminal case in another county or city shall, for his serv-
ices, receive his actual expenses in addition to his per diem. If
the same person attend as a juror in more than one criminal case
on the same day, he shall receive compensation and mileage in only
one case. Amounts for attendance and mileage provided for in this
section shall be paid out of the treasury of the State except as
hereinafter provided.

And when during the same day a person has served as a juror,
for which he is entitled to be paid out of the public treasury, and
has also served as a juror, for which he is entitled to be paid out of
the county or corporation levy, the court shall divide equally the
pay and mileage for such day between the State and the county or
corporation; and it shall be the duty of the sheriff of the circuit
or sergeant of the corporation (or hustings) court, at the term of the
court during which an allowance is made or has been made under
this section, to furnish the clerk of such court with a statement
showing the number and names of the jurors in attendance upon
the court, and the number of miles, respectively, of travel, as afore-
said. In every case the claim of the juror, for attendance and for
nuleage, as aforesaid, shall he verified by. his affidavit.
