[marginal notation: 113] [marginal notation: L.g.] T. P. Canton July 12. 1792 It is my opinion that the [strikethrough: compensation for] Clerks of the Circuit Courts [strikethrough: in] making records, & issuing Certificates for the service of Jurors, are fully provided for, by the third Section of the Act intitled "an act for regulating processes "in the Courts of the United States and providing "compensation for the Officers of the said Courts "& for Jurors & Witnesses" and that Certificates from the Courts of the fees which shall be adjudged to be due for such persons, will authorize the admittance thereof at the Treasury. It is also my opinion that M^r Ellery may be authorized to procure a seal for the use of the Circuit Court & District Courts, and that his accounts for the expense thereof, may be paid out of the fund appropriated for defraying the Contingent expenses of government, pursuant to the resolution of Congress passed on the 2^d of August 1790 — I have the honor to be &c The Hon^ble Alex^r Hamilton Esq^r [endorsement: [undecipherable] / July 12. 1792 / Alex^r Hamilton Esq^r / Copy P.
