I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of the late Dr. Philip Bartlett, and I find that the said administrator at a Circuit Superior Court of Law and Chancery for the County of Henrico and City of Richmond, held on the 24 th of June last, obtained a Judgment against the Commonwealth of Virginia, for half-pay for the service of said Bartlett as a Surgeon in the Virginia State Navy during the Revolutionary war; and and whereas said judgment has not been satisfied by said Commonwealth, but has under the provisions of the act of the 5 th of July 1832 been referred to the Dep t of War, it is my opinion that the claim should be allowed, the Secretary of War having decided in the case of Dr. John Applewhaite, that the decision of the Superior Court of Henrico County, Virginia, is binding upon the Department. I therefore certify that half-pay under said act is due at the rate of one hundred and eighty two dollars and fifty cent, per annum, from the 23 rd of April 1783 till the first of July 1809, when said Bartlett died, and that the amount is payable to Frederick Vincent, Esq. Attorney of John Jones, of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, administrator of said Philip Bartlett, dec d .

I certify that I have examined the claim of the administrator of Philip Bartlett, deceased, who claims commutation under the acts of July 5. 1832 and March 3. 1835, on account of the service of said Bartlett as a Surgeon in the Virginia State Navy, and I find that said Bartlett served to the end of the revolutionary war. The claim should therefore in my opinion be allowed, and I accordingly certify that  paid to James G. Berret, substitute of Frederick Vincent, attorney of John Jones, of Elizabeth City County, Virginia. The five years full pay is due, amounting to eighteen hundred and twenty five dollars, with interest at six per cent. per annum from the twenty second of April eighteen seventeen hundred and eighteen hundred and eighty three to the present time should be all paid , deducting the whole amount which has heretofore been paid at the Treasury Department on account of half-pay. The claim is payable to James G. Berret, substitute of Frederick Frederick Vincent, attorney of John Jones, of Elizabeth City County, Virginia, administrator of said Bartlett. Approved
