Chap. 506.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 329 of the Code of Virginia
of 1887, as amended, relating to the collection of fines imposed by court

Approved March 26, 1928

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

Section 329. For the purpose of collecting any fines or penalties
imposed by a court martial, the president of the court, or the summary
court officer, shall, within fifteen days after the fines or penalties have
been imposed and approved, make a list of all the persons fined, describ-
‘ing them distinctly, and showing the sums imposed as fines or penalties
on each person, and shall draw his warrant, under his official signature.
directed to any marshal of the court, or to the sheriff, or constable of
any city or county, as the case may be, thereby commanding him to
levy such fines or penalties, together with the costs, on the goods and
chattels of such delinquent, and the said warrant shall thereupon
have the force and effect of a fieri facias, but such delinquent shall
not be entitled to the benefit of any exemption law of this Common-
wealth, as against such warrant and the lien thereof. In default of
sufficient personal property to satisfy the same, the officer executing
the same shall take the body of the delinquent and convey him to the
jail of the city or county in ‘which he may be found, whose jailor shall
closely confine him without bail for one day for any fine or penalty
not exceeding one dollar, and one additional day for every dollar above
that sum, unless the fine or penalty and jailer’s fees be sooner paid.
No such imprisonment shall extend beyond the period of ten davs.
