Z RATION, 10 BE observed by all persons aP

Ter The act OF 22i Nj ,rch, 1852, entitled 'An act
70 make Bounty Land Warrants assignable, and
for other purposes" Is published IN connexlon
with the act itaeli.
This form is only so far variant from that pre-
serbed under the act Of 2sth September, 1850, as
10 adapt it to the recent act OF March 22d:
The Declaration must be sworn TO before some
Justice OF the peace other officer authorized Il
administer oaths for general purposes, who mus
certify the same.
The official character and signature of the ma
gistrate " no may administer the oath must be
titled by the clerk OF the proper court OF record o
his county, under the seal Of the court
Such certificate must accompany eo1y case
II will be perceived, that in the Attn section OF the
act OF 22d March, provision 10 made for widows
or minor children, but only for the party who rem
dercd the service.
The service contemplated by the act is tina
rendered under call by the authorities OF any
reign government Indian tribe, and whose ser
vices have been paid for by the United States sub
sequent to the 18th June, 1872
II should be specially noted that no one whose
service was recognised by any previous act car
claim under this, except where his mileage has
not been allowed in the computation of his service
Hence, if the soldier has rendered such service as
would entitle him to forty acres, any Other
amount, under previous law he cannot claim ar
increased quantity for other services first recog
nsed by this act
Ii the applicant desires TO avNll himself oil th'
9Th section of the act he must, in his declaration
state the place at which he was enrolled with hi
company, the distance thence to the point at which
he was mustered into service, the place at which
he was discharged, and the distance thence To IN
place OF his original enrolment. II must also b
clearly shown, by the testimony OF persons certi
fled TO be credible, that his statements in these re
epects are true, and the witnesses should speci
