CTTHEKEAS, frauds have
▼ ▼ been pradifed, in obtaining war
rarits for Bounty Lands, due to the Offi
cers ard Soldiers of the late Continental
Army, by the predudion of forged in
struments. To check in future such im
positions, it has been thought advifeable,
that all persons, having claims for Boun
ty Lands, whether in their own right, as
legal representative, or by virtue of any
instrument or deed of transfer, be requir
ed to forward their refoedive claims to
the War-Office, on or before the firft day
of Jan, 1799, in order that such claims
may be duly examined, adjusted and de
termined upon.
To substantiate such claim, a Grid ob
servance of the rules heretofore iflued
from the War-Office, will be indispensa
ble ; and in addition to what is required
by the said rules, the certificate of the ac
knowledgment of a Deed or Power of
Attorney, most also set forth the place of
refidenc'e and occupation of the claimant
or person making such acknowledgment ;
and when the proof of personal knowl
edge is by a witness or witnesses, their
place or places of refidtnee must be set
forth in like manner.
