Assembly amendment on gouging

- Where
- unresolved venue; legacy row claims Virginia State Capitol, which postdates 1772
The Virginia Assembly amended an act describing punishments for gouging in February 1772, per the legacy record rather than any supplied passage.
According to the legacy record, the Virginia Assembly amended an act to describe the punishments for the practice of gouging on February 12, 1772. The supplied passages establish that the colonial legislature was the General Assembly, governing with a colonial governor until 1775/1776, and that from 1705 it met in the colonial Capitol building in Williamsburg. No passage documents the amendment's text, its sponsors, or its enactment, so those details remain unsourced.
