I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of the late Josiah Valentine, who was a Lieutenant in the Virginia State regiment of Artillery, and I find that half-pay, under the act of July 5. 1832 was allowed by the Treasury Department in February, 1834, from the 3 d of September 1783; whereas the allowance should have been made from the 9 th of February, 1782, when he left the service. My opinion is that the half-pay, now claimed at the rate of two hundred dollars per annum from the 6 th of February 1782 to the 3 d of September 1783, should be allowed. The amount is payable to Thomas Green, attorney of John Petty, administrator of said Valentine, deceased.
