Private Law 18–LXXIX

That the proper accounting officers of the treasury settle and adjust the claim of Stephen Arnold, David and George

Claim for muskets to be settled.

Jenks, Second, for the manufacture of three thousand nine hundred and twenty-five muskets, manufactured for the United States, under a contract with Tench Coxe, entered into on the twenty-sixth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and eight, and to make them such further allowance as shall be equal to that allowed to others, who contracted about the same time, to manufacture arms for the United States, and who have had their accounts 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, and such allowance, so made, deducting therefrom such sums, if any, as the claimants are indebted for advances, already made on said contract, (with the interest thereon from twenty-sixth day of October, one thousand eight hundred and thirteen,) shall be paid out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated.
