PREPARED BY THE AUTHOR,
In obedience to a RESOLUTION ofthe House Of Dele

AUDiTeR's OFFICE,
4th January, 1881.
SrR--I have performed the duty required of me, by
tho resolutions of the House OF Delegates, of the 20t
ult respecting the Revolutionary Claims, with due
sense Of the importance and responsibility OF the
task.
The accompanying documents marked A, b, and c,

Superior Court for the county of Henrco upon appeals
