Notes:
Hon. PHILIP PHILLIPS, Washington, D. C.
Heirs of William Turvin.
In this case the petitioner states that the title in question was con-
frmcd by Congress. This is a mistake which the solicitor who drafted
the petition fell into by copying the statement made in the petition
of the administrator presented to the Senate, and the petition in this
Court must be amended in that particular.
Application for a confirmation was first made by James Conway on
the 19th June, 1813, before the commissioner on land claims, when
the titles derived from the Spanish government were presented, but
no proof being then made of inhabitation and cultivation, the claim
was rejected.
Under the 3d section act March 2, 1829, to wit: in 1830 Neal Smith,
the administrator and present petitioner, removed the application and
made the proof of inhabitation and cultivation required by said action,
and on the 16th of April, 1836, the register and receiver made a report
for the 960 arpents claimed, concluding thus : " The foregoing
claim appearing to the undersigned to be supported agreeably to the
3d section of the act before recited, under which the heirs of William
Turvin, sen., deceased, now claim, respectfully beg leave to express
their opinion that the said claim ought to be confirmed."
