1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
Code of Virginia be amended by adding thereto a new section num-
bered sixty-four hundred and seventy-one-a to read as follows:

Section 6471-a. That whenever there shall be an assignment of a
judgment, there may be a notation of the assignment made upon the
judgment docket, where the same is recorded, by the clerk. An assign-
ment, in order to be so noted, must be in writing, showing the date
thereof, the name of the assignor and assignee, the amount of the
judgment, and when and by what court granted, and either acknow-
ledged as are deeds for recordation in the clerks’ offices of courts of
record in this State, or signed by the assignor, attested by two witnesses,
or said judgment may be assigned by notation on the margin of the
judgment lien docket on the page of the book where same is docketed,
by the judgment creditor or his attorney of record, and attested by
the clerk. The assignment, after the same is noted, upon the judg-
ment docket, as is herein provided, shall be filed by the clerk with the
other papers in the case, in his office. When such assignment is made
and noted as herein provided, further executions shall be issued in the
name of the assignee as the plaintiff in the case. [For noting and filing
such assignment the clerk shall be paid a fee of twenty-five cents.
