Approved February 7, 1942

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That chapter
four hundred and thirty of the Acts of the General Assembly of nineteen
hundred and twenty-four, approved March twenty-first, nineteen hundred
and twenty-four, as heretofore amended, be amended and re-enacted, as
follows:

Section 1. Whenever a party seeks a writ of error, or appeal or:
supersedeas from or to the Supreme Court of Appeals to or from any
judgment, decree, or order of any court of record and presents to the
clerk of the inferior court a bill or certificate of exceptions, duly signed
by the judge, together with an accurate typewritten copy thereof, certified
by said judge, although such bill or certificate of exemptions contains a
transcript of the evidence or instructions given or refused, such clerk
shall accept such copy as and for a part of the transcript of such record,
and shall so certify the same, for which service he shall be entitled to
the sum of five dollars, which sum of five dollars shall be in lieu of the
sum which he would be otherwise entitled to under section thirty-four
hundred and eighty-four of the Code of Virginia, as amended.

If it be a chancery cause, the party seeking such appeal may present
to the clerk of the inferior court a transcript of the record, and it shall
be the duty of said clerk to compare, and correct, if necessary, such
transcript, and to then certify the same, for which service he shall have
one-tenth of the amount to which he would have been entitled under
section thirty-four hundred and eighty-four of the Code of Virginia, as
amended, if said transcript had been made by him; or such party may
present to such clerk a copy of any part of such record, in which event,
the clerk shall compare and correct the same, and then incorporate it into,
and as part of, the complete transcript of such record, and his compensa-
tion therefor shall be one-tenth of what it would have been if such copies
had been made by him, but in no case shall the clerk’s fee for such service
be less than five dollars.

If counsel for the parties opposite shall make up and agree upon the
record of a case, either civil or criminal, as made in the inferior court,
and present the same to the clerk of said court, approved by the judge
thereof, the clerk shall certify such record and agreement, for which
service he shall have the sum of two dollars and fifty cents.
