Chap. I.— An Act for the relief of Edward Lee. Dec. 29, 1826. *Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, * To be paid for bread contracted for, for the use of the navy. That the Secretary of the Treasury pay to Edward Lee, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of two thousand eight hundred twelve dollars and fifty cents, the value of thirty-seven thousand five hundred pounds of navy bread, which he contracted with Commodore Chauncey, to deliver at Sackett’s Harbor on or before the first day of December, eighteen hundred and thirteen, for the use of the navy, and which, being examined by the proper officer, was left in the possession of the said Lee, for the want of a convenient place to receive it into the public stores, and was thereafter accidentally destroyed by fire.
Approved, December 29, 1826.
