Dec. 12, 1871. C. F. Linkfield, Esq. Camden, N. Y. Sir: Your letter of the 2d inst. to the Solicitor General has been received. I do not think that the papers which you transmit furnish a sufficient reason for the interference of this Department with the regular course of the law. Very respectfully, A. T. Akerman, Attorney General.
