CLAIMs ron STEAMBOATS, AND OTHER VESSELS, lost or
destroyed while in the service of the United States
by impfeSsment or contract.
A speedy settlement of these Claims depends en-
tirely upon the lare and suiccncy of the evidence
adduced, to show their justhcss and correctness.
Many just claims arc necessarily suspended, and
Others entirely dsalowed at the Departments, for
want Of evidences that could have been easily pro-
duced at the time of the transaction, but now rem
dered nm almost mpossibty by reason of the officer
under whose direction the property was furnished
or used or the services rendered being deceased OF
having retired from the sereIce; or removed to dis
tant stations and neglected to supply the defcien-
cies required.
The difficulties in tie ffay Of a settlement of Claims
such as these are frequently of such character IS
to require FOR their proper adjustment thorough
knowledge OF the rules and regulations of the Do
parments hid decisions applicable thereto. The
Importance, therefore, of entrtsting them for ad-
iustment to those 'to possess this knowledge and
experience viii DIT 6hce be seen and appreciated.
