Speech on the Sunieice of the Late Defalca tions in Fort Wayne Case
In a December 1833 House speech Mr Wise reports on the Fort Wayne land office receiver John Spencer. He cites treasury letters demanding prompt deposits and monthly returns, alleges neglect and money shavings, notes West’s 1836 inquiry revealing a large balance and mismanagement, and condemns Woodbury for delaying action and tolerating irregularities. He recounts Swartwout’s later defalcation and asserts political obstruction to accountability.
