country, ana when dispsssionate and
well informed they viii not be found de

May they be yet more united both in
sentiments and affection, and be ready

and of very doubtful advantage ;-and
still less to aid the triumphs and sup

In commercial State the contracting
Of debts is necessary, as trade cannot
be carried on 10 any great extent with

pected changes in the commercial reg
ulatlons and restrictions of our own
government and to the present war

posed, has oil late been more numerous
than at any former period. Many per

been impoverished III their circum.

paying their debts. Perhaps you will
think 1t necessary 10 make some pro.
vision by law for their relief, which
shall guard them against the severity OF

The Commissioners appointed in

June 1911, TO determine whether GER
tain persons claiming lands in Bristol
and other towns in the county OF Lin
coin, are entitled to any part of the
lands lying within the boundaries Of
their respective claims, have made an
award, which will be delivered to you
by the Secretary. This award If CAR
fied into execution will probably have a
happy effect in producing settlement
oil disputes in that part oil the State. In
the letter which the Commissioners
addressed TO me, you will percsive that
individuals under one of the claims have
performed services and expended mon.
les in settling and defending the coun
try, for which they have failed to realize
a compensation. But the Commits
sioners doubted whether the above case
was within their power. On this sub
Ject you, Gentlemen, will probably have
no hesitation in adopting the measures
they have recommended BY Re-
solve oil the gath Of last June, the sum
oil twelve hundred dollars was approp,i-
ated to meet the expences OF the Com
missioners, great part OF which has
been applied accordingly. As their ser.
vice appears to have been difficult and
highly merilorious, / have no doubt you
will be disposed to make them an hon.
orable compensation.
