Supreme Court of Virginia

Decided November 26, 1973No. Record 8220PublishedCited by 19 opinions

1Per curiam

JohnF. Bellamy, Jr. alleges that because of duress exercised on him by Ernest P. Gates, Judge of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, and Edward P. Gill, Chief of Police of the county, he resigned from the county’s police force. He sought (1) to enjoin and restrain Gates and Gill from “refusing to reinstate him on the force”, (2) to obtain an order directing them to reinstate him, and (3) to recover an award of both compensatory and exemplary damages. A demurrer filed by Gates and Gill to Bellamy’s bill of complaint was sustained, and we review this action of the lower court.
