Sheredine late Soldiers in the line of this State, it is Resolved that the Certificates of Major

factory evidence of the said Britts right to Certificates for the depreciation of his pay and
that they be issued to him accordingly, and the Auditor being satisfied by documents in his
possession that the claim of John Sheredine is well founded, it is ordered that Certificates
be in like manner issued to the said Sheredine.
