1. Beit enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That the
Code of Virginia be amended by adding thereto a new section to be
numbered Section sixty-five hundred and eight-a, which shall read as
follows:
Section 6508-a. To ascertain the personal estate on which a writ
of fieri facias issued on a judgment of a trial justice, civil justice, civil
and police justice, or police justice, is a lien, and to ascertain any real
estate, in or out of this State, to which the debtor named in such
judgment and fieri facias is entitled, upon the application of the
execution creditor, the justice who rendered the judgment upon which
such fieri facias was issued, or his clerk, if he has a clerk, shall issue
a summons against the execution debtor, or any officer of the corpora-
tion, if such execution debtor be a corporation having an office in
this State, or any debtor or bailee of the execution debtor, requiring
him or them to appear before such justice at a time and place to be
designated in said summons, to answer such interrogatories as shall
be propounded to him or them by counsel for the execution creditor,
or by the justice, but such summons shall not be served out of the
county or city for which such justice was appointed, or elected. The
debtor or other person served with such summons shall appear at the
time and place mentioned, and make answer to such interrogatories,
and the proceedings thereon by such justice shall be in accordance
with the applicable provisions of sections sixty-five hundred and three,
sixty-five hundred and four, sixty-five hundred and six, sixty-five
hundred and seven, and sixty-five hundred and eight; provided, how-
ever, that if only money, securities, or other personal property is
involved in any such proceeding, no return or report of the proceedings
shall be made to the circuit or corporation court of the county or city,
as the case may be, but if any real estate is to be disposed of as a
result of such interrogatories, the summons and all the proceedings
thereon shall be returned by the justice to the appropriate circuit or
corporation court, to be dealt with by such court in accordance with
the provisions of sections sixty-five hundred and seven and sixty-five
hundred and eight.
