AsHlNoIoN, january 20, Iooz
Messrs. LITTLE BRowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations in the re-
publication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country
The low price at which the volumes are offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nsh their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part the several systems, or less modi-
fed daily administered by the courts of this
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, il is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE pUBucATIos IN EsGLASp, a CONSIDERATIONS
OF THE FIRST IMroRTANcE; for, if the Reports OF
cases decided are Of any value the sooner they
are in the hands OF the profession the better.
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commemorate with the merit of the enter
prise.
am, with great respect, your obediont servant
SAMUEL NELSON.

THE SUBJOlNED FIRM OF DECLA-
l. RATION, To Ne observed by all persons ap \
plying Ia the Pension Office for bounty Land, un-,
der the act OF 22d NJ 'rch, 1852, entitled Gan act
to make Bounty Land Warrants assignable, and
for other purposes,' ID published in connexon
with the act itself.
This form is only 30 far variant from that pre-
scribed under the act of 18th September, 1850, as
to adapt it to the recent act of March 22d.
The Declaration must be sworn 10 before some
just ce OF the peace other officer authorized to
administer oahs for general purposes, who must
certify the same.
The official character and signature Of the ma
gstrate who may administer the oath must be Ger .
tilted by the clerk of the proper court OF record OF
his county, under the seal OF the court
Such certificate must accompany ecry case
1t will be perceived, that in the 4th section OF the
act Of 22d March, no provision Ia made for widows
minor children, but only for the party who rem
dered the service.
The service contemplated by the act is that
rendered under call by the authorities OF any
State to repel apprehcnded hosthties from any To-
reign government or Indian tribe, and whose ser
wees have been paid for by the United States SUBJ
aequept To the 18th June, 1917
II should be specially noted that no one who4e
service recognised by any previous act can
claim under this, except where his mileage mas
not been allowed in the computationoi his service
Hence, if the soldier has rendered such service as
would enttle him 10 forty acres or any other
amount, under n previous law, ne cannon claim an
increased quantity for other services fret recog-
nised by this act.
II the applicant desires to av"l himself OF the
9th section of the act he must, III his declaration,
state the place at which he was enrolled with his
company the distance thence to the point at which
he mustered into service, the place at which
ne discharged, and the distance thence to the
place of his original enrolment 1t must also be
clearly shown, by the testimony oil persons cert
fled to be credible, that his statements in these re-
spects are true, and the witnesses should specify
the manner in which they obtained their iniorma-
ton. j. r. HEATH,
