Decision of Commodore Stockton re Richard's claim; report by Wm. T. Maddox (Lt. U.S. Marines, Col. Comm'g of the Central Dept.) referring to orders from Commodore Stockton — the 'Frenchman (Richard) did not enjoy any immunity by which he could make his premises the store-houses or place of deposit for arms of a people rise in revolt & most of whom were spurly [openly] in arms'; Maddox denies taking arms/grain from Richard except by receipt to Martin; encloses a copy of Stockton's letter (17 Oct 1847) authorizing seizure of horses/saddles/munitions of war likely to fall into the hands of those disposed to revolt; also copies of letters from Lt. Martin & Sergt Smith H. Swain to Maddox; submitted to prove Moerenhout was somewhat given to prefer baseless claims
