Sir In your reply to the application of Elinor Hallett widow of Solomon Hallet for the benefit of the act of 3 Feby 1853 you say that her declaration was made before a justice of the peace. In this you are probably misled by the term Justice. It does not say Justice
of the peace but of Justice of the Sessions &
Now the Court of Sessions is our County Court and consequently a court of record The term Justice is in law or applied to our
Supreme Judges and also to the Judges of
the Supreme Court of the United States
Judge McKee before whom Widow Hallett's declaration was taken is a judge of the
County Court called the Court of Sessions
and the legal term Justice of the Sessions
is used instead of Judge. I herewith forward
to you a copy of her family Record and an affidavit of her identity
