Richardson, Jr., Judge of the City's Corporation Court, <br /> <br />and City Commonwealth's Attorney John J. Hartley appeared before Council and <br /> <br />recommended the establishing of a "Joint Regional Juvenile & Domestic Relations <br /> <br />Court", as provided for by Section 16.1-143.1 of the CODE OF VIRGINIA (1950, <br /> <br /> <br />and as amended), to serve the County of Patrick, the County of Henry, and the <br /> <br />City of Martinsville. Judge Richardson informed Council that such a court may <br /> <br />be established upon request of the jurisdictional governing bodies, with approval <br /> <br />of the judges of the respective courts-of-record, and that the proposal already <br /> <br />carries the endorsement of both the Patrick County Board of Supervisors and the <br /> <br />Henry County Board of Supervisors as well as the approval of the respective judges, <br />plus the support of the area bar associations; whereupon, Council unanimously <br />
