Dec. 14, 1871. Joseph R. Bennet, Esq. U. S. Marshal, Detroit, Mich. Sir: I have addressed the District Attorney of your District on the subject of trespasses upon the Light House grounds near Monroe Harbor, and enclose to you a copy of the communication. If he advises that the case is one justifying summary proceedings under the law against the trespasses, you will forthwith proceed in a summary way for the protection of the government property. Very resp'lly, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
