And capt. Bassett who was a and methodical Man duly or Kate oat a protest and an itemized claim for Daman amounting for ship Ai cargo to this in Brief tue "the1 Bassett heirloom Imrch is still preserved in Tho family. Its name May not to familiar to the it Der yet there have been no Tian forty Kurce report made to differ at on this claim As Ono of a do Moor of similar cases and without Mici Donk there will to Many More Foi ire All know Tho Power of habit and Congress can be fairly said to have con tatted thou Ahitow a favourable report on the Fronc i spoliation claims. It has teen urged As Ono of the objections in Trio Way of settling these claims Fiat they but no lawyer could Tetra Muriel such a technical defense Rathl i with regard to Tho Bassett claim. Oaths contrary it had been afflicted with insomnia from birth. Tho method capt. Bassett being very loth to Low at one stroke the bulk of his hard earned competence took proper Legal Idrice Maclo out his Case and duly Laic it before or. Morris then our. Minister it Paris. Or.

Irad like everybody else got Only to checkmate us Witch a copyright of a by american press association wrote Many years later telling to Story succinctly As follows thus the government bartered the just claim of our merchants on Franco to obtain a Relin ii shecut of the French claim. On this View of Tho Case it would seem that Tho merchants have an equitable claim for indemnity from the United but not to go into an argument capt. I3asnett too this View of thu Case at any Rato and spoilt a part of several win tors in Philadelphia and Washington try ing to get his Money and at five years difference in Lime to was instrumental in my caring two favourable statements of cart a Ono by or.
