Approved March 20, 1930

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

Section 5528. It shall be the duty of each officer who, under the
present law may execute warrants of distress, except where it is other-
wise provided by law, to make return of his action and proceedings
upon such warrants as may be placed in his hands for collection, and
file the same with the clerk of the circuit or corporation court of his
county or city, as the case may be, except in the city of Richmond the
same shall be filed with the clerk of the circuit court, or the clerk of
the law and equity court, or the clerk of the law and equity court, part
two, within sixty days after the same may have come to his hands, upon
the return of such warrant it shall be the duty of such clerk to enter
the same upon the execution book of his office after the manner as
now provided by law as to executions issued by justices and returned
unsatisfied, and the said clerk shall preserve such warrant in his office
as 1s now provided as to such unsatisfied executions. If such return
shall show that a levy has been made and that property levied on re-
mains unsold, it shall be lawful for the said clerk of the court in whose
office such return is filed to issue a writ of venditioni exponas thereon
just as if the said return were upon a writ of fiert facias.
