Approved March 24, 1930

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

Section 4902. In any case of a felony where the punishment can-
not be death, the jury cannot be kept together unless the court other-
wise directs.

When the jury are kept together, the court shall direct its 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 ex-
ceed, for each juror, seventy-five cents for each meal furnished, and
not to exceed two dollars for lodging. And the same amount shall be
allowed, in either case, for the meals and lodging of sheriff, or his
deputy, keeping such jury, to be paid in the same manner. But in no
case, shall more be paid for meals or lodging than usually charged by
the hotel or boarding house, at which the said jury is lodged.
