Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Laws of the United States Governing the Granting of Bounty-Land Warrants: Together With the Regulations Relating Thereto In the event of the death of any one of the persons mentioned in this section during service, or after his discharge, and before the issuing of a certificate or warrant, the warrant or scrip shall be issued in favor of his family or relatives; first, to the widow and his children; second, his father; third, his mother; fourth, his brothers and sisters. Note. - It is supposed that the preceding section was Intended to embody the provisions of the bounty-lands acts of February 11, 1847, and September 28, 1850. The former act, as amended, granted bounty land to the enlisted men of the Mexican war, their widows and children, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters. The latter act made similar grants to the commissioned officers of that war, and to the officers and enlisted men of other wars from 1790 to the date of the act, and to the widows and minor children of such officers and enlisted men. In the attempt to combine these two acts in section 2418 above, and by the peculiar construction of that section, those who were actually provided for in the act of 1847, viz, the enlisted men and their heirs, were entirely omitted, while on the other hand the benefits of the act of 1850 were extended to a class of heirs - to wit, fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters - who were not previously provided for in that act or in any other bounty-land law except in the act of 1847 and amendment. The questions raised by these diversities in the law have, however, been settled by the Department. It Is held: 1. That the provisions of the act of 1847 are kept in force by section 5597, Revised Statutes, notwithstanding the provisions of repeal contained in section 5596, Revised Statutes. 2. That the new law incorporated in section 2418 must be given its full force and intent. See (3) paragraph 15, and (4) paragraph 47, title Bounty Land, Digest of Pension Laws, 1885. Sec. 2419. The persons enumerated in the preceding sections received into service after the commencement of the war with Mexico, for less than twelve months, and who served such term, or were honorably discharged are entitled to receive a certificate or warrant for forty acres, or scrip for twenty-five dollars, if preferred, and in the event of the death of such person during service, or after honorable discharge before the eleventh of February, eighteen hundred and forty-seven, the warrant or scrip shall issue to the wife, child, or children,if there be any, and if none, to the father, and if no father, to the mother of such soldier.
