Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That there be issued, under the direction of the
Secretary of the Treasury, a Register for the barque Sarah & Eliza, formerly a British
vessel, but now owned by Joshua T. Jones, Charles H Jones and Thomas Bell, citizens
of the State of New York; and which said vessel having been wrecked and condemned
on the coast of Maryland, was purchased by them, got off and towed to New York, repaired
and refitted for sea. Provided, it shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Secretary
of the Treasury that the cost thereof, after the purchase of the said vessel by the
present owners, exceeds three-fourths of the original cost of building a vessel of
the same tonnage in the United States.
