Chap. 332.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 6130 of the Code of Virginia,
relating to confession of judgments in clerk’s office in vacation. [S B 149]

Approved March 25, 1932

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

Section 6130. In any suit a defendant may, whether the court be in
vacation or not, whether the suit be on the court docket or not, confess
a judgment in the clerk’s office for so much principal and interest as
the plaintiff may be willing to accept a judgment or decree for. The
same shall be entered of record by the clerk in the order or minute
book and be as final and as valid as if entered in court on the day of
such confession, except merely that the court shall have such control
over it as is given by section sixty-one hundred and forty. And the
said clerk shall enter upon the margin of such book opposite where the
said judgment or decree is entered, the date and time of the day at
which the same was confessed, and the lien of the said judgment or
decree shall run only from the time of the day of the confession.
