eery.
Christopher Adams,complainant
vs.
James Guthrie,
Amos Adams,
Isaac N. Comstock,
Samuel Byingtou.and
Richard Wallach,
Til IS bill of complaint in the above stated cause
states,that the said complainant,on orabout the
twenty-tiith day of November, A. D , 1851, entered
into a contract with the United Slates government,
agreeing to supply the government with five mil
lion of brick for the extension of the Capitol. That
said complainant, on or at>out the 12th day of Jan
uary. A. D 1852, assigned to one Samuel Strong,
the said contract; the said Strong agreeing and
promising to pay to said complainant the sum ot
lour thousand dollars.
Tne bill further states that the said Strong, on
or about the ,2d day of February, A. D. 185'2, as
signed the said contract, or one moiety thereof, to
Amos Adams and Isaac N Comstock, of the 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 be paid by the government on
said contract, until the said >um of four thousand
dofars 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 Adams and Isaac N. Comstock as
signed their right, title.and interest in the contract
to one Samuel Byington as partner and associate
ol Richard Wallach, the said Byington and Wal
lach having notice of the said lien of thirty per
cent, on the moneys to lie paid by the government
on said contract.
The object of said hill is to obtain an injunction
against said defendants inhibiting th? 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 re-presentatives from receiving
the said money* until the sum ot thirty-six hun
dred dollars, and the interest thereon, should be
paid to \*>e complainant or his legal reprrtenta
lives, anfl ?uch other and father decree as to this
court shall seem right and proper. The said Amos
Adams and the said 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 the court.
It is, therefore, by the court ordered this 1st day
of January. A. D. 1855, that the matters and
thing* stated in the aforesaid bill of complaint
against 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 again-t them, and each of them, as the
court shall deem right, unless the said defendants
appear in the court on or before the second Mon
day in May next, and answer the said bill, and
show cause if any they have why a decree as
prayed for by the complainant should not be
passed by the court.
Provided the complainant cause this order, and
the substance and the object of the said bill ol
complaint, to be published in some newspaper in
the city of Washington, twice a week foi six
sncceative weeks, the first insertion thereof to
appear at least four months before the second
Monday in May next.
