Chap. XXIV.— An Act for the relief of the representatives of John Kerlin, deceased. March 2, 1827. *Be it enacted, &c., * Claim for the manufacture of muskets to be settled. That the proper accounting officers of the treasury department settle and adjust the claim of the representatives of John Kerlin, deceased, for the manufacturing of one thousand two hundred and twenty-seven muskets, for the United States, and make them such fur-ther allowance for each stand of arms, as shall be equal to that allowed to others, who contracted, in eighteen hundred and eight, to manufacture arms for the United States, and who have had their contracts settled under special acts of Congress; keeping in view the quality of the arms delivered, with the additional labor bestowed, more than would have been necessary to have made muskets equal to the pattern gun, deducting from said sum so found, the sum of five hundred thirtyone dollars and sixty-six cents, the interest on an advance made by the United States, until the same was repaid; and the balance remaining to be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated Proviso.*Provided,* That, before the representatives of the said John Kerlin shall be entitled to receive any money under the provisions of this act, they shall exhibit to said officers satisfactory proof of their appointment.
Approved, March 2, 1827.
