Be it enacted' by the Senate and House of Represcntat/veti of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized and directed to pay, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to Manuel H. SiLa, of New Ipswich, New Hampshire, the sum of $6,240, in compensation for the loss of certain pigs during a cholera outbreak. This compensation would normally be available under Federal law, but in this case extremely bad weather, including a major snowstorm, prevented the necessary inspection for seven days, during which time one hundred and fifty-six of the infected animals had died, rendering the loss ineligible for compensation to that extent.
