It appears by a letter from Isaac Lawrence esq that Timothy S. Barton received of him in his character of agent for paying pensioners under the Act of 18 march 1818 one year pension more than he was entitled to - The affidavit of Mr. Barton that Harvey who must have been authorized by him to receive the amount paid by the agent, had not paid it over to him, cannot change his obligations to the agent. There is no essential difference between a payment to him in person and a like payment to his regularly constituted attorney - His pension is suspended to await the adjustment of this matter

State of New York
Warren County ss. Timothy T. Barton being duly sworn says that he procured a certificate from the War Department of the United States for a Pension under the act of Congress of 1818; that on or about the fourth, of September 1819, he procured a power of attorney to be drawn by Seth C. Baldwin, then a Clerk & agent of Halsey Rogers, for the amount then due under his certificate or up to the 4 th of September aforesaid, that he signed the Power of attorney & left it in the said Baldwin's hands to be attended to for him. And this deponent further says that he knew at the time of making the said Power how much was then due to him under his said Certificate, & that he did not authorize by his said Power, any one to receive for him any more than was then due under his said Certificate. That some time after making the said Power, he received the benefit of the sum due under his said certificate, being twenty three dollars or thereabouts, by an arrangement with the said Halsey Ro- gers, a large proportion of which was credited to this deponent on the Books of the said Rogers at the time a mer- chant with whom this deponent dealt. That the business was mostly done & the entries made by the said Baldwin - That no more money was received by this deponent under the said Power than the sum above mentioned.

Sir
The Dept t of War will probably under- stand that Minotah J. Barton ob- tained a certificate for a Pension under the act of 1818, & was cut off from the benefit of it by an act of 1820. - that it appears from entries in the office for the pay t of Pensions in the City of N. York that $119. has been paid to an agent of Barton, & the money recpt d by the agent - which sum was $96. more than he was then entitled to receive - That Barton has again be- come entitled to a Pension under the act of 1832 & has rec d a certificate therefor & presenting his papers for his Pension, at the pay Office N.Y., under his last mentioned certificate, it is insisted, at the pay Office that the $96. above mentioned must be de- ducted from the sum he is entitled to receive - So I have understood the matter - The en- closed affidavits are made in relation, & sub- mitted to the consideration of the Dept t - From those affidavits & from all that I can discover Mr. Barton has never rec d any part of the $96. above mentioned
Under the circumstances it is submitted to the Department whether there can be any sufficient reason for the

Deduction of the $96 from Mr. Barton's Pensions under the act of 1832 -

To Wit I Little Baldwin of Caldwell in the said County, being duly sworn, do depose and say, that I am and was well acquainted with Timothy S. Barton, now of Bolton in the said County, a pensioner of the United States, - that I assisted him in getting his pension certificate in 1819 - from my minutes then made, it appears that he applied for a pension on the seventh day of June 1819, under the Act of Congress of the 18 th of March 1818 - that according to my best recollection, on or about the 4 th of September 1819 I drew a power of Attorney, for Mr. Barton who had then received his certificate, to get his pension at the New York Agency, up to that date being for three months, lasting 3 days, at eight dollars per month - that the power went into the hands of Halsey Rogers Esq. then of this place, with whom Mr. Barton was then dealing, and a few days after I entered on Mr. Rogers's books, to Mr. Barton's credit, the amount of his pension, received by Mr. Rogers, being about twenty three dollars, I speak of this from the best of my present recollections, and from infor- -mation from Mr. Rogers, both of which, I believe are correct -
And I do further say and depose, that I have no knowledge of, nor do I believe that the said Timothy S. Barton, at that time, or at any other time, relative to the pension due him, and the power made by him about the 4 th September 1819, ever raised, or authorized in any manner any person to receive, any more than the pension then accruing and due to him, being about the sum of twenty three dollars as aforesaid.

These documents, some of which are in the hands of the British Museum, were obtained by the British Government from the collection of the late Sir John Lubbock. They contain much valuable information in relation to the early history of the British Isles, and to the customs and beliefs of the people who inhabited them at various periods. The documents are now being published under the direction of the Royal Society, and will, it is believed, be found highly interesting to the public.

Enclosed are papers in relation to a claim of $96. against the Pension Dep't of the U. S. in favor of T. L. Barton of Boston which papers will sufficiently explain.
Also a certificate of the Comp't of Comr's of 4 Mos. 13 days service by B. Geer, which time Mr. Geer wishes to have added to the time already allowed him for which he now draws a Pension (his Pension certificate is also enclosed) At the time he first made his application for a Pension, he had not the evidence of his service on board the "Oliver Cromwell" & though stated to have been performed by him in his original declaration was not allowed in his favor by the Pension Department - It is supposed that on presentation of the Comptroller's certificate enclosed the Dep't will without hesitation issue a new certificate, by which an allowance for the additional 4 Mos. 13 days proved by it will be included - If they refuse you will please return the certificates enclosed -
At the suggestion of Mr. Richards I enclose the foregoing, begging on behalf of the Pensioners Command that you will use your exertions & influence in their behalf
