WASHINGTON, _March 9, 1830_.
_Gentlemen of the House of Representatives_:
I submit to your consideration the memorials of Francis H. Nicoll and
John Conard, the latter marshal of the eastern district of Pennsylvania,
praying for the interposition and aid of Congress in the discharge of a
judgment recovered against him by the said Nicoll, alleging, as
defendant in the suit, that he was the mere organ of the United States,
and acted by and under the instructions of the Government.
