Approved March 23, 1928.

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

Section 4818. A coroner shall have for viewing a dead body,
whether an inquest be had or not, three dollars, except where the cor-
oner is a physician and actually makes an examination of the dead
body, in which case his fee shall be five dollars, and in the event that
the coroner deems it necessary to make an autopsy, or hold an in-
quest, and does make such autopsy, then he shall be allowed such
additional fee as shall seem reasonable to the circuit court of the
county or the corporation court of the city in which such autopsy was
held; provided, that in cities having a population according to the
nineteen hundred and twenty United States census, of not less than
one hundred thousand and not exceeding one hundred and fifty thou-
sand, if such coroner holds an inquest, he shall receive out of the treas-
ury of such city the same fee as is allowed herein for an autopsy.
