"Mr. Israel Ketchum has this day presented the within account, and can produce vouchers for the same, if it should be required. I do hereby promise to Mr. Israel Ketchum, in the event of the government allowing the claim of Messrs. Farrow and Harris, contractors for the erection of fortifications on Dauphin island, his claim, so far as it is right and just, and I do not know, at the present moment, anything to the contrary ; but his claim is justly due to him, which shall be paid to him, or his representatives, in the event of the government leaving it in the power of me to do so. "Given under my hand, this 10th day of March, 1824. »N. FARROW.
In addition to the testimony heretofore submitted the petitioner pre sents the affidavit of Gilbert C. Russell, who deposes that he signed the bond required by the act of 1825 on condition that he "was to receive the property or money in lieu thereof, and pay the debts, which amounted to $112,000." He says: "The Secretary of War, in accordance with the requirements of the act, dismissed a suit then pending against Harris & Farrow and paid the $73,000, but absolutely refused to give an order for the return of the property out of the proceeds of which their debts were to be paid. I was sued by Roland Clapp, who claimed $6,000, and was held to bail. From the order to hold me to bail I was discharged, upon the ground that the Secretary of War had failed to execute the provision of the act ; whereupon Clapp dismissed his suit." The deponent adds : " Had the secretary complied with this, the most important provision of the act, the just debts of Harris & Farrow would have been paid ; but the Secretary of War positively refused to execute this part of the law, and the debts due for work done and materials delivered were not paid."
Monday, December 15, 1828 Mr. Cambreleng presented a petition of Israel Ketchum, of the city of New York, a sub-contractor under Farrow and Harris, in the erection of fortifications on Dauphin Island, at the entrance of Mobile bay, praying that provision may be made for the payment of the claims of all the sub-contractors under said Farrow and Harris.
