MIR. MURDEN'S STATEMENT.

Mr.. Kendall, IN his Report on the Accounts ne
MILES hng, Esq The late Navy Agent at this place,
having made allusIon to me, deem il but Justice IN
Mr.. King, as well as to myself that should g;ve
some explanation of he Bills OF Accounts WHICH
nave been selected by that gentleman as objects M
spec,al anlmodverson' although, at the same lime,
am persuaded that wherever Mr.. King is known
snch explanations will be deemed entirely superero
gatory.
Shortly after Mr.. King was removed from office
arranging and preparing bis papers for
eett'emeh' win the Navy Department: found amonr
them many informed bills, which upon a closc exono
marion nad never been charged TO the Government
inese compared with the Receipt book of the Ma

received at ne Yard, and such of them as TINT bool

many Instances these informal bills would embrace !,

as many several bills should be made as there wer
d:tnct Objects stated in the informal bills; in do,ng
TINS Inado the receipt for the formal bill or NOV,

an
justice OF the claim itsclf-for il is beyond all nosahi
o9no and question that the articles charged in these
bills were furnished the customary reoisit,on md
deHyered Tor the uso of the u. States.
In arranging and making out these "pew billsp Mr.
King had nothing to do: prepared them in the man
neI required by the forms Of the Navy Department.
ana never once dreamed they would become the sub
Jec OF such little criticism; it is evident from tho
report ITSELF that the objections more of form,
