To His Excellency JONATHAN WORTH, Gov
ernor of n c., Raleigh N. c.
All persons in possession of horses or mules,
rightfully, must have some evidence substan-
tiating their claim. In all cases, therefore,
in which the animals in their possession have
been claimed by the government, the party
from whom the animals are taken should pro-
duce that evidence, whether it be their own
affidavit or evidence of other kind, and have
it verified by some officer, clerk of the
County Court, Justice of the Peace or Notary
Public, and, if possible, obtain the County
seal thereto, and have the papers laid before
Gen. Ruger at the earliest period" - I
