Chap. 192.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 6134 of the Code of Virginia,
in relation to office judgments. [HB 32]

Approved March 23, 1932

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion sixty-one hundred and thirty-four of the Code of Virginia, in re-
lation to office judgments, be amended and re-enacted so as to read
as follows:

Section 6134. Every judgment eubered in the office in a case
wherein there is no order for an inquiry of damages, and every non-
suit or dismission entered therein, shall if not previously set aside,
become a final judgment, if the case be in a circuit court, on the ad-
journment of the next term or at the close of the fifteenth day thereof
(whichever shall happen first), and if it be a court of record other
than a circuit court on the adjournment of the next term desig-
nated for the trial of civil cases in which juries are required, or at the
close of the fifteenth day thereof (whichever shall happen first), and
have the same effect, by way of lien or otherwise, as a judgment
rendered in the court at such term. Every such judgment for any
plaintiff shall be for the principal sum due, with interest thereon
from the time it became payable (or commenced bearing interest),
till payment, unless it be in such action as is mentioned in section
fifty-seven hundred and sixty in which case it shall be according to
that section; provided that no judgment by default on a scire facias
or summons shall become final within two weeks after the service of
such process.
