                                                                                 EXPLANATORY NOTES

*QUERE V.   In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how
   long he served, he should amend his declaration by making affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c.  A. B. who, being
duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that b, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he
cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service, but according to the best of his recol -
lection he served not less than the periods mention below, and in the following grades:  For                 months
year                                 months, and                      days, I served as                                      For                                months
and                               days, I served as a                       ; and for such service I claim a pension

Page 18

.                                                                                                   3

It is important in all cases to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served,

and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the

pension, and the length of his service.  The use of the prhase about three or four months is too in -

definite, andall such qualifying expressions are objectionable.  Some persons who apply for pensions

merely state they served two years in the milita, &c. without specifying the tours;  the names of the

officers, and other particulars respecting their service.  This form of a declaration is highly objection - 

able.  It must in every case be clearly shewn under what officers the applicant served; the duration

of each term of engagement;  the particular pace or places where the service was performed; that the

applicant served within and embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that the was either

in the field or in garrison; and for th time during which the service was performed, he was not em -

ployed in any civil pursuit.


+ QUERE XIV.  Proof of Service.

In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must

prove his service by two credible witnesses, who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of

the claimants entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same as well as the

regiment, company, and line to which he belonged.  The magistrate who may administer the oaths

must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magis -

trate must be certified by the poper officer, under his seal of office.


++  XVI.   Mode  of authenticating papers.

In every instance where the certificate  of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers  is not

written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other paper authenticated, the cer -

tificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass

under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improper;y

attached to the certificate.


In every case where the clerk of the court, or other certifying officer, has no public seal of

office, the certificate of a member of congress, proving the official character and signature of the

certifying officer, should accompany the papers/
