Sir, 
The exploratory statement of John Burton has been examined and files with the other papers. He alleged terms of service inconsistent with those prescribed by law for the militia of Rhode Island, and explains if by saying that he as a successively engaged as a substitute by some one of either class as it arrived to relieve the other and still continuing under the same Capt. the officers alternated tours of service by classification as well as the men. It would not appear from a careful review of all the papers in the case and the circumstances under which it is presented that he has any just claim to the pensions of the act of 7 June 1832.
