MEMORIAL,

United States in Congress assembled. The memo
rial Of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled TO Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th Of September, 1850, that they are Informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be !.
that they do not expect desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented TO them, the
expense Of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value Of the grant, which
they could avoid il permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assum es
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands, are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignabe, and they will ever
pray, &c.

spcctful7 present, that they have in a body
carefully inspected the Common Jail, and OBJ
serve that the recommendations Of the last
Grand Jury have been carried into effect by the
Commissioners of Public Buildings and that
the Jail so far as concerns its internal arrange
ments is in All excellent condition, but that the
we'll attached thereto, is i'll a very bad condition
and needs cleaning and repairing.
2. They would filrherprcscnt. that they have
by committee examined the Poor House, and so
far as they could be able to determine from a
hasty examination, they could see no cause of
great complaint The inmates in several seemed
satisfied and contented, and they content them
selves with repeating as to the Poor House, what
they recommend for the Jail, namely: that the
well should be thoroughly cleaned and repaired.
3. They would also present that they have
witnessed with much pleasure the completion OF
those repairs, which have been in progress con-
nected with our Court House, and are happy to
present it, so far as they have been able to de-
termine, as in most excellent repair and in fact
as an ornament to the District

the Grind jury, they would consider the Roads
