2002 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §§ 49-13 and 59.1-94 of the Code of Virginia are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 49-13. How new or additional bonds required and given; failure to give.
The proper court, whenever, in its opinion, it may be necessary for the
protection of the public interests, may order any officer, of whom a bond is
required by law, to give a new bond, or a bond in addition to one already
given, within such time, not less than ten nor more than thirty days, as the
court may prescribe; but the officer shall be served with a copy of a summons
or rule, at least ten days before the order is made, citing him to appear and
show cause against the same. The summons or rule shall be awarded whenever the
court deems it proper, or on application to the court by the attorney for the
Commonwealth, or, if the application is to the Supreme Court or the Court of
Appeals, by the Attorney General. Such order shall be made by the circuit court
of the county or city, if such officer is an officer of such county or city or
any district thereof (except clerk of the Chancery Court of the City of
Richmond) as is mentioned in §§ 17-118.1, 24.2-217, and 24.2-222; by the
Chancery Court of the City of Richmond, if he is the clerk of that court, or by
the Supreme Court or Court of Appeals, if he is a clerk of either court. Any new bond
or additional bond given before the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals shall be
certified and transmitted to the clerk, to whom the original bond is required
to be delivered, to be recorded by him. The bond may be given before the court
requiring it or the judge thereof in vacation, or, if the court is the Supreme
Court or the Court of Appeals, before either court or any three of the judges
thereof in vacation; and when the bond is given in vacation, it shall be
certified and returned by the judge or judges, before whom it is given, to the
clerk of the proper court, who shall file and record the same in his office. If
any officer fail or refuse to give the bond so required of him within the time
prescribed, his office shall be deemed vacant.
§ 59.1-94. Filing and publication of description of names, marks or devices.
Any person engaged in manufacturing, bottling or selling soda waters, mineral
or aerated waters, cider, ginger ale, milk, cream, ice cream, soft drinks or
other beverages, or medicines, medical preparations, perfumery, oils, compounds
or mixtures, in bottles, siphons, tins, crates or kegs, with his or its name or
other marks or devices branded, stamped, engraved, etched, blown, impressed or
otherwise produced upon such bottles, siphons, siphon heads, tins, crates, or
kegs, or the boxes used by him, or any person engaged in the business of
regularly supplying clean laundered garments, towels, table or bed linens or
other such articles with his or its name or other marks or devices woven,
impressed or produced thereon, and who periodically exchanges such clean
articles for soiled articles, may file in the office of the clerk of the county
or corporation circuit court in which his principal office of business is
situated or in the clerk's office of the Chancery Court of the City of
Richmond, if such principal office of business is situated in such city, or if
such person shall manufacture, supply or bottle out of this Commonwealth, then in any
county or city in this Commonwealth, and also in the office of the State
Corporation Commission, a description of the name or names or marks or devices so used by
him and cause such description to be printed once in each week, for three weeks
successively, in a newspaper published in the county or corporation city in
which such description may have been filed as aforesaid, and if there be no newspaper published in
the county or corporation city in which such description has been filed, then
in the newspaper published nearest to that county or corporation city, and he
shall thereupon be deemed the proprietor of such name, mark or device, and of every vessel or
receptacle or clean laundered or soiled articles mentioned herein upon which it
may be branded, stamped, engraved, etched, blown, impressed, woven or otherwise
produced.
