Remarks. From this last statement, there has been no delivery . ( essential in the execution of all deeds.) It does not appear that there are any other creditors, or payments made than those already stated, which if correct, leaves a difference between the sales and payments of $61.79 \frac{3}{4} . unaccounted for, with the exception of $16.92. due on the sale of furniture, yet to be collected. - The quantity of land conveyed cannot be ascertained by the deeds.
Claimant aged 67. has no trade, or means of living. - lost his wife in March 1824. - lives with his son George, who has a wife and 5 children - subsists solely on his bounty.
I certify that I have examined this case, and am of the opinion that according to the principles which have governed in previous decisions, the claim ought to be admitted.
