I shall “id all cases when documents
and proofs are wanting, state the defeds
immediately to you, and (when opportu
nities offer) write also to the owners and
claimants”; but as some time must elapse,
before I can have afeertained the proofs
that must be forwarded, in addition to thole
already in my pofleflion, in all the cases
under my charge, 1 think it expedient to
fend you a flat cine nt of the evidence that
in general is requisite for the prosecution
of a claim or appeal, that the merchants of
the United States, who have forwarded
their papers may be informed in what
refped their proofs are deficient, and thole
who have not may without delay, at ohee,
fend complete feta of papers for the prose
cution of their fuits*
The proofs generally ncceffary for this
purpose, are:
1. Evidence of the claimants of appel
lants being citizens of the United States at
the time of the capture of their veffela or
property;
2. Proof of the veflcl and cargo, or part
and what par’s being their property.
In older to which it is in most cases nc*
ceffary to forward.-— _
1. The protest made by the matter, offi
cers end men belonging to the vefiel.
2. Copies of the ffiip’s papers on board
at the capture. , . >
3. Copies of letters,! nvoices, bill of lad
ing,&c. relating to the property claimed.
4. Certificates of refpcaable merchants
of the value of the articles on board at the
time of the capture.
J. Statements Os the loss sustained, the
expenses incorred and the cost of suits that
may hive been paid;
6, The policies of inforance, or when
they cannot be had, copies of them.
These fhooldall be provided on the oath
or affirmation of disinterested per font, where
that can be done, and where it cannot, by
that of the party concerned, before tome
magistrate or notery public, and proof of
the office and qualificationof such magif
rate or notary public should be made un
