ing, which was denied June IL, Iooo.s
Following this, OIL the 29th of June,
Thomas Mullen, counsel for Damrose,
called the departments attention to the
fact that the last named decision referred
only to the affidavit executed by himself
in support of his petition and asks to be
informed whether or not the four other
afidavits, made by persons residing near
the land in controversy, were considered
in the rendition of tie opinion of the I2th
of June.
Secretary Hitchcock states in reply to
the query that Mr.. Mullen,s affidavit was
the only one before the department when
the decision was rendered Upon the re-
ceipt of his letter, however, the full rec
ord of the case was informally brought up
