CONTENTS

v Aaron Mason's case.
From the date of the certificate (copy of which is enclosed) it appears to have been issued by the court "styling themselves commissi- oners" whose report was not accepted by Congress, it does not appear that Mason made application to the District Judge under the subsequent act of the 28 th of Feb. 1793. Consequently the certificate cannot avail him; and he can only obtain relief only by complying with the requisitions of the act of the 3 rd of March 1803.
