Christopher Adams, complainant,
M.
James Guthrie, "I
Amos Adams,
Isaac N. Comstock, !? Defendants.
Samuel Byington,and
Richard Wallach,
THIS bill of complaint in tbe above slated cause
states, that the said complainant, on or about the
twenty-fifth day of November. A. D., 1S51. entered
into a contract with the United States government,
agreeing to supply the government with five mil
lion of brick for the extension ofthe Capitol. That
said complainant, on or about the 12th day of Jan
uary. A. D. 1852, assigned to one Samuel Strong,
the said conlraot; the said Strong agreeing and
promising to pay to said complainant the sum ot
lour thousand dollars.
The bill further states that the said Strong, on
or about the 2d day of February, A. D. 1852, as
signed the said contract, or one moiety thereof, to
Amos Adams and Isaac N. Comstock, ofthe city
of Albany and State of New York,and received from
the said Adams and Comstock their obligation or
promise for the payment of four thousand dollars,
or thereabout, as well as a lien of thirty per cent,
on the moneys to he paid by the government on
said contract, until the said sum of four thousand
dollars should be paid ; which lien said Strong
duly assigned to the complainant in this bill. The
bill further states that sometime in the year 1852
the said Amos Adatns and Isaac N. Comstock as
signed their right, title,and interest in the contract
to one Samuel Byington as partner and associate
ot Rictard Wallach, the said Byington and Wal
lach having notice of the said lien of thirty per
cent, on the moneys to be paid by the government
on said contract.
The object of said bill is to obtain au injunction
against said defendants inhibiting the said James
Guthrie, and all persons acting for him, from
paying the said moneys to any of the defend
ants, or their representatives, and the defend
ants and their representatives from receiving
the said moneys until the sum of thirty-six hun
dred dollars, and the interest thereon, should be
paid to the complainant or his legal representa
tives, and such other and further decree as to this
court shall seem right and proper. The ssid Amos
Adam* and the ssid Isaac N. Comstock, named
in the caption and body of the bill, still residing in
Albany as aforesaid, beyond the reach of the pro
cess of tbe court.
It is, therefore, by the court ordered this 1st day
of January, A. D. 1855, that the mailers and
things staled in the aforesaid bill of complaint
ngninst the defendants, shall be taken for con
fessed against the said Amos Adams and Isaac
N. Comstock, and such decree made in the pre
mises Against them, and each of them, as the
court shall deem right, unless the said defendants
appear in the court on or before tbe second Mon
dsy in Msy next, and answer the said bill, and
show cause ii any they have why a decree as
prayed for by the complainant should not be
passed by tbe court.
Provided the complainant cause this order, and
the substance and the object of the said bill ot
complaint, to be published in some newspaper in
the city of Washington, twice a week foi six
successive weeks, the first insertion thur??of to
appear at least four months before the second
