Report of the Maine Committee on Claims about a petition of Valentine Ripley, who requested reimbursement for losses incurred when he aided an officer serving a criminal warrant. Thomas Bridgham, wanted for illegal traffic of liquor, was in the house of James Murdock. As noted in the petition, "the officer and Ripley together succeeded, after considerable scuffling, and removing Murdock from the door. The door was then burst open: the officer entered the house, found Bridgham and arrested him." (Page 2). Murdock subsequently brought prosecutions against Ripley for assault and battery. Ripley was acquitted. Ripley asked to be indemnified and to have costs reimbursed.
