vV,HE sUBJOlNED FORM OF A DECLA-
Il RATION, to be observed by all persons APP
plying to the Pension Office for Bounty Land. UNI
der the act Of ed March, 1852, entitled San act
to make Bounty Land Warrants assigna BILE, and
for other purposes" is published in conncxon
with the act itself
This form is only SO far variant from that pre-
scribed under the act Of 2Sth September, 1850, "a
to adapt il to the recent act Of March 22d.
The Declaration must be sworn to before some
justice OF the peace or other officer authorized to
administer oaths for general purposes, who must
certify the same.
The official character and signature of the ma
gistrate who may administer the oath must be Ger.
hed by the clerk of the proper court Of record OF
his county, under the seal Of the court.
Such certificate must accompany eptry case.
1t will be perceived that in the 4th section Of the
act Of 22d March, no provision is made for widows
or minor children, but only for the party who rem
dered the service
The service contemplated by the act Is that
rendered under a call by the authorities Of any
State to repel apprehended hostitics from any TO-
reign government or Indian tribe, and whose SER
vices have been paid for by the United Statcs sub.
sequent to the 18th June, 1912,
Ii should be specially noted that no one whose
service was recognised by any previous act can
claim under this, except where his mileage has
not been allowed in the computation Of his service.
Hence, il the soldier has rendered such service as
would entitle him to forty acres, any other
amount, under previous law, he cannot claim an
increased quantity for other services first recog-
Missed by this act.
If the applicant desires to avail himself of the
9Th section of the act, he must, in his declaration
state the place at which he enrolled with his
company the distance thence to the point at which
he was mustered into service, the place at which
he discharged, and the distance thence to the
place of his original enrolment. II must also be
clearly shown, by the testimony of persons cert-
fled to be credible that his statements in these
spects are true, and the witnesses should specify
the manner in which they obtained their iniorma-
ton. j. E. HEATH,
