tion forty-nine hundred and two of the Code of Virginia, as amend-
ed, be amended and re-enacted, so as to read as follows:

Section 4902. In any case of felony where the punishment can-

officers to furnish them with suitable board and lodging, when so
confined, to be paid out of the treasury of the State, the expense
thereof not to exceed, for each juror, fifty cents for breakfast, fifty
cents for dinner, fifty cents for supper, and one dollar for lodging;
except that when such case is tried in a city or county the court-
house of which is situated in a city, such expense shall not exceed,
for each juror, seventy-five cents for each of such meals and two
dollars for lodging. And the same amount shall be allowed, in
either case, for the meals and lodging of the sheriff, or his deputy,
keeping such jury, to be paid in the same manner.
