It has been a matter of complaint for a long while that John Heard collector of Perth Amboy did not pay the public monies in his hands according to his instructions. As early as the 12th July 1803, he was notified that unless he made payment, his conduct would be reported to the President. This seemed to have produced some effect: and his payments during the year 1804 were more prompt and...

The counterfeiting of notes of the Bank of the United States, or of coins of the sd. States, are equally by the Statute offences against the United States; but I believe that base coining of foreign coins is an offence only against the State. At all events, the proper course seems to be to transmit the affidavit to the district attorney for North Carolina ; which, if approved by the President,...
