Laws, 170,) organized the counties of Jef fersonj McKean, Clearfield, Totter, Tioga and Cambria, f The 9th section of the law authorized the Governor to appoint three IWsteea for each county, who should re ceive proposals for the grant of lands, mo neys, &c, as a consideration for the locao tion of the county seat. Many of the county seats were located under this law (See 4th Sm. Laws, pp. 368, 372, Jcc ) , Our county seat was located under a sub sequent Act, passed 4th April, 1S05, (see pamphlet laws, page 254,) as follows : Sec. L Be it enacted, fr. That the Gov ernor be and he is hereby authorized and required to appoint three disinterested commissioners, who do not reside or own any land in the county of ClearBeld, which commissioners, or a majority of them, shall meet at the house of .Benjamin 1 at ton, in the town of Bellefonte, on the twentieth day of May next, and from thence proceed to view and determine on the most eligible and proper situation for the seat of justice and public buildings for the said county of uiearnem, ana mane uieir report into me oilice of the secretary of the Common wealth on or before the first Monday of December next: Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, dr.. That the aforesaid commissioners shall have Wower, and it shall be their duty, to take assurance by deed, bond, or otherwise, of any Iancfe, lots, monies or other property which hath been or may be offered for the use and benefit of the said county, either for the purpose of erecting tiublic build jngs, the support of an Academy or other .public use, and tor the services aforemen tioned. " Under this Act, the Governor appointed Roland Curtin, James Smith and John Fleming, commissioners, who filed their report as follows : ; REPORT. Sir By virtue of an Act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania, entitled an Act authorizing the appointment ot Commissioners to fix upon a proper site ibr the Seat of Justice in Clearfield county: We, the subscribers, appointed by llis Excellency the Govern or, . agrcearbly to the provisions of the above mentioned Act, passed on the fourth day of April, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five . REPORT, that agreeably to the provis ions of the above mentioned Act. we met at the house of Benjamin Patton, in the town of Bellefonte, ou the twentieth day of May, one thousand eight hunch ed and five, and receiving the different proposals made by several persons proceeded to view And determine on the most eligible and proper situation for the Seat of Justice and Public Buildings, for the said county of Clearfield, and do find that the Old Town of Chincleclamouse.in the said coun ty (the property of Abraham Witmer, of the township of Lancaster, in the county of Lancaster, and Commonwealth of Penn sylvania,) situate on the south side of the W est Branch of the Susquehanna River, in the county aforesaid, ii the most eligible and proper situation for the Seat of Justice and Public Buildings in the said couuty ; and that we have laid out the said town, a plan whereof is hereto annexed, and we also further report, that we have received from the said Abraham Witmer, his bond (which is also hereunto annexed) for the conveyance of certain lots and the pay ment of certain sums of money at the time and for the purpose therein mentioned. "We are, with respect, your humble ser vants, ROLAND CURTIN. JOHN FLEMING, JAMES SMITH To Thomas M'Kean Thompson, Secreta ry of Commonwealth. A plan of the town of Clearfield laid out by the Commissioners, and approved by them, is filed with their report. The bond of A rah am Witmer accornpa' nied that report, and is as follows : KNOW all men by these presents, that 1, Abraham VY ltmer, of Lancaster township in the county of Lancaster and Common wealth of Pennsylvania, am held and firm ly bound unto Roland Curtin, John Flem ing and James Smith, m.the sum of ten thousand dollars, lawful money of the United States, to be paid to the said Roland Curtin, John Fleming and James Smith, or either of them, their or either of their attorney, heirs, executors administrators or assigns, to which payment welland tru ly to be made, I bind myself, ray heirs, executors and administrators, firmly ly these presents ; sealed with my seal, dated the filth of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five. Whereas, Thomas McKean, Esquire, Governor of Pennsylvania, by letters un der the great seal of thi3 Commonwealth, dated at Lancaster, the sixth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five appointed Ro land Curtin, John Fleming and 'James Smith, or a majority of them, Commis sioners for the purpose ot viewing and de termining on the most eligible and pro per situation for the Seat of Justice and Public Buildings in and for the county of Clearfield. And whereas, by an act of General Assembly of this Commonwealth, dated the 4th day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and five, it is made the duty of the Commis sioners so to be appointed "to take assu rances by deed, bond or otherwise of any lands, lots, moneys or other property, which hath been or may be offered for the use and benefit of the said County either for the purpose of erecting public buil dings, the support of an Academy or oth er mitilir llca 4 1 , .f r er public use And whereas the afore , saia mmissiouers, in pursuance of the : power iven them for that purpose have determined and fixed on, for the purpose : aforesaid, a certain tract or parcel of land, the property of the said Abraham YVbit- !V u her the said Abraham - hitraer hath agreed to sell and convey in such manner and to such person or per- - Bona as may be hereafter legally appointed for thatf purpose, one lot in said town for the purpeoe of: having a Court House -thereon erected, one for Jail.one for .Mar ket House, three for an Academy, and two pieces of ground for the public fas will appear marked on a general nlan of said town.) And the said Abraham Whitmer i lurtner agrees and engngeB to give his bond, or other security as may be required to such person as mav be authorized to receive the same for the payment of three thousand dollars on the first day of May, which will be in the year of Our Lord, one lu-jusauu eigm nundred and twelve ; one nan tuereoi to be applied for the use of an Acedemy or Public School in said town, ana one iialf for the purpose of erecting public buildinss in said town. Now the condition of the foregoing ob ligation is such, that if the before bounden Abraham Whitmer, his heirs, executors, administrators or assigns shall, from time to time, and at all times, do keep and perform the aforesaid undertakings and agreements on his part, then in such case the above obligation to he void and of none effect, otherwise to be and remain in full force and virtue. - ABRAHAM WHITMER.

The books in the County Commission ers' office show the payment of $1950 of this money by Abraham AVitmer, as per audit on Cth January, 1816. For the balauce of the money, suit was brought by Roland Curtin, for use, in the Court of Common Tleas of Dauphin coun ty to No. 150, April term, 1834 Judgment was rendered in the case against the Exec utor of Witmer for $1270 20. That case was taken up to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania by the Executor of Witmer. On the question of the construction of the bond of Witmer, the Supreme Court affir med the judgment of the Court below, and itmer s Executor was compelled to nay the money. these are the facts, as fully proven ly the original papers now in this place ; and which, it is presumed, definitely settles the question of removal.
