THIS bill of complaint in the above slated cause
states, that the said complainant,on orabout the

into a contract with the United States government,
agreeing to supply the government with five mil
lion of brick for the extension oftlie Capitol. That
said complainant, on or about the 12th day of Jan
uary. A. I) 1852, assigned to one Samuel Strong,
I 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 nl>out the 2d day of February, A. D. 1852, as
signed the said coniract, or one moiety thereof, to
I Amos Adams and Isaac N Comstock, of the city
of Albany and State of New York, and received from
the said Adams^ind Comstock their obligation or
promise for the payment of four thousand dollars,
or thereabout, as well as a ben of thirty per cent,
on the monevs to be paid by the government on
said contract, until the said sutn ol four thousand
dolars should be paid ; which lien said Strong
duly as?igned to the complainant iu this bill. The
bill further states that sometime in the year 1852
the said Amos Adams and Isaaa 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

on said coniract.
The object of said kill is to obtain an injunction
against said defendants inhibiting thw 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 ot thirty-six hun
dred dollars, and the interest thereon, should be
paid to \he complainant or bis legal repreaenta
tives, and such otner and further decree as to this
court shall seem right and proper. The said Amos
