Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Evidence Taken by Authority of the Honorable the Secretary of the Treasury: Under a Report of the Committee of Claims and a Resolution Concurred in by the House of Representatives of the United States of America, in the Case of Indemnity of Charles F. Sibbald, of Philadelphia The following is a concise statement of the facts: Mr. Sibbald had a claim to a tract of Land in Florida, containing Live Oak and other timber, and for the sawing of which he erected a Saw Mill. The United States sent an Agent to Florida, to preserve the Live Oak timber on the public land, according to the laws in force in relation to that subject. The petitioner says he had made contracts for the delivery of sawed timber, and had expended large sums of money in erecting Mills for that purpose, and in other expenditures for carrying into effect his contracts, and for realizing profits from his property. The complaint is, that the Agent so sent to Florida, by his own interference, and by the authority vested in him, called on others to dispossess the petitioner; and that he was so dispossessed, and from that time to the present has been prevented from enjoying his landed estate, with his Mills, under the pretence that the title to the Land was in the United States. A suit for trying the title resulted in a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of the petitioner. He says, that during the time the suit was pending, and he was held out of possession, his Mills have gone to dilapidation and decay, and that they are now destroyed. He asks compensation for his losses. They are said to be very great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
