Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documents in Evidence of a Claim Submitted by Charles F. Sibbald, of Philadelphia, to the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America The Memorial of Charles Fraser Sibbald, of the City of Philadelphia, respectfully showeth - That your petitioner, a native of this city, removed at an early age to the then province of East Florida, and resided therein under the government of Spain for a period of nearly fifteen years - that whilst he was there domiciled, to wit, in the year 1816, he obtained from that government a grant for 16,000 acres of land, on the express condition of improving said lands in the erection of Saw Mills, and having complied with the conditions required of him whilst that territory remained attached to the Crown of Spain, the lands thus granted, became the property of your Petitioner, and that he used and enjoyed them as such without hindrance or molestation, and that the Supreme Court of the United States has, at its present Session, confirmed his titles to the said lands - That your Petitioner being prevented from disposing of his lands, by the judicial scrutiny and investigation which was undergoing with respect to them by the government of the United States, in its different departments, was obliged to seek other sources of business and employment, and returned to this city, from whence he was influenced to continue to improve said lands, after the Cession of the Floridas to the Government of the United States - under the firm conviction, that whenever an adjudication of the Supreme Court should be obtained, it would result (as it has) in his favour. That in these improvements he has disbursed upwards of one hundred thousand dollars in the erection of Steam Mills on his said premises, (one of which Mills worked forty-eight saws) that he had made arrangements for a most extensive business there, and that his Mills were placed in complete and successful operation. That the Government of the United States, in 1828, sent an agent to Florida, who prevented your Petitioner from using his own timber to supply said Mills, (erected at such enormous expence) or for other purposes.
