My dear Mr. Sumners:
In response to your letter of the 9th instant, I have the honor to advise you that from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 3434, it appears that ROWLAND WARE, pensioned ROLAND WARE, was born about January, 1760, place not stated.
While a resident of Montgomery County, North Carolina, he enlisted in 1778 and served at various times until the close of the Revolution, amounting to about twelve months in all, as private with the North Carolina Troops under Captains Randles, and Buckner Kimbrell, Colonels Harris and Childs; he was in a skirmish with the British and Tories on the east side of the Pee Dee River.
He was allowed pension on his application executed July 1, 1844, at which time he was a resident of Warren County, Tennessee.
In 1857 he was living in McMinn County, Tennessee, and he died June 15, 1864, at which time he was living about seven miles from Athens, McMinn County, Tennessee.
His wife, her name not stated, did not survive him.

A son, Allen Ware, was living in McMinn County, Tennessee, in 1882, aged eighty-two years, and his post office address was Riceville, McMinn County, Tennessee.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
PENSION OFFICE,
MAY 22, 1882.
THE PENSIONER SHOULD READ THIS.
In all cases filed before June 20, 1878, the legal fee of an attorney in a pension case is $10 unless a larger fee, not exceeding $25, is provided for by a special written contract, between the claimant and his attorney or agent, which fee will be retained by the Pension Agent out of the first payment and sent to the attorney by mail. In all cases filed since June 20, 1878, the legal fee is $10, and no more, and must be paid directly by the claimant; in this latter class of cases, neither the Pension Agent nor the Commissioner of Pensions has anything to do with the fee. Should the attorney or claim agent or any other person demand or receive directly or indirectly any greater amount for his services or assistance in the case, he would subject himself to the provisions of the following law:
"SEC. 545. Any agent or attorney, or any other person instrumental in prosecuting any claim for pension or bounty-land, who shall directly or indirectly contract for, demand, or receive or retain any greater compensation for his services or instrumentality in prosecuting a claim for pension or bounty-land than is provided in the Title pertaining to pensions, or who shall wrongfully withhold from a pensioner or claimant the whole or any part of the pension or claim allowed and due such pensioner or claimant, or the land warrant issued to any such claimant, shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof shall, for every such offense be fined not exceeding five hundred dollars, or imprisonment at hard labor not exceeding two years, or both, at the discretion of the court."
If after perusal of the above, pensioners pay more than the legal fee to their attorney or agent, they do it with full knowledge of the law and their rights thereunder, to which I have felt it my duty to call attention in this manner for their protection.
Any excessive and illegal demand on a pensioner by an attorney or agent should be promptly reported to the Commissioner of Pensions.

If his position in his other step is correct, that the pensioner never was legally off the rolls - and his point seems to me to be a strong one, then there is no restoration necessary - but the practice has been to consider residents of the seceded States as off the rolls under the act of Feb. 4, 1862 - and to restore in such cases.
Restoration is admiss in this case merely as precedent to the claim for reimbursement.

Reviewers remarks:
This man was an anti-rebellion pensioner, and was paid to Sept 4, 1860, He died in 1864 leaving no widow, and without having filed a claim for restoration to the pension roll. His son now claims reimbursement &c. under the last clause of Sec 47918.
In view of the late opinion of the Attorney General, that the consideration of such claims belongs to the Treasury Department, I need not discuss its validity, but preliminarily to its consid-

eration by that Department is the question of the re-instatement of this man's name upon the roll as a pensioner,
During the period between the last payment to him, and his death, there was no provision of law raising a legal presumption that his right to further payments had terminated, simply and because he failed to claim the same. That statutory presumption was not enacted until July 27, 1868. The only provision analogous thereto, in force and applicable to this case is found in the Act of Aug. 23, 1842, which required that applications

for the payment of pensions un- claimed for fourteen months should be made at the Treasury I am of the opinion that this pensioner's name went off the roll June 15, 1864, by reason of his death, and not previous thereto by limitation under the operation of any legal presump- tion of cessation of title. If such presumption might otherwise have operated, during the period in question it, was resident in an insurrectionary district, without means of communica- tion with the Treasury or the Agents for paying, and deprived of the power - without his act or will concerning - to

make application for payment. The presumption - if any - was rebutted by the facts and should not operate.
I have not overlooked the Act of Feb 4, 1862, nor the order there- under dropping the names of all pensioners residing in insurrectionary states. That order was dated June 10, 1865, - subsequent to the date of this pensioner's death - and moreover it has been held by the Department to have been unauthorized. (Dec 7, p. 155 Digest) Further the evidence before me tends to show that this man was loyal, and his great age, (senile) would relieve him

from acts done or words spoken that might otherwise imply disloyalty.
Holding then as I do, that the pensioner's name remained upon the roll until the day the day of his death, he not having been amenable to the provisions of the Act of Feb. 4, 1862 — the only law that might have operated to destroy his title — the accrued pension may be made availa- ble, so far as his status as a pen- sioner is concerned, without restoration or other act of the Bureau, except the issue of a duplicate certificate. If the contrary be held, then, no claim for restoration ever having

been filed by any person au- thorized to make the same, there is still nothing before me for my action. The only thing necessary to be done in that case, is for the proper Di- vision to notify the son Allan Ware of the facts so why no action can be taken, by this office. Respectfully
Salbert Lamson Receiver
Sept. 14, 83

Mr Walker thinks that the name went off the rolls under the law of July 27, 1888. That it should be restored on the appn. on file, JRM Dec 4, 1882
