The Commonwealth of Virginia owes James H. Holt $100 for one horse killed in the services of the state. On this day, in Jefferson County, Virginia, Jacob A. Miller appeared personally before Brooks, a Justice of Jefferson County, and made oath according to law that the stated account is the just value of the horse. This is given under the hand and seal of Brooks. M.E. Price certifies that the horse was in the service of the state, hauling stocks and machinery. It was taken from this work, in order to convey provisions to the Maryland heights, by Col. Tunston. Holt's horse was killed in the service by being backed over in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The horse, states Price, should be paid for by the state. Statements approved by Thomas J. Jackson. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 1p. 8vo.
