     several estates purchased by the Government

     value much below the minimum prices fixed by the 
     
     Government, at which such lands respectively may 
     
     be sold, and it is advisable that the Commissioner 
     
     of Public Lands should be empowered to dispose

     defendant has a known place of abode, within the 
     
     jurisdiction of the said court, and shall be then 
     
     within the same, such writ or process may be served

     full value of such lands; subject, always neverthe-
