Mr.. Woodcock then moved the amend
ment he had previously intimated, which
was, in substance, to deduct any allow
ance previously made for the use of the
horse, unless the volunteer shall shew that
he was re-mounted; in which case the de-
duclion shall only extend to the time such
volunteer served on foot; and provided,
that if any payment had been made to any
volunteer for clothing, such payment shall
be deducted from the sum to be allowed
for bis losses.
Some debate took place on this amend
ment, on the part of Messrs Edwards. of
Conn. and WoodcOck; after which it was
agreed to without division.
Mr. Rich then moved the adoption of
an additional proviso, which was modified
to read as follows:
"PrOv,ded, That no claim shall be al.
lowed under the provisions OF this act. un.
til proper return shall have been re-
ceived by the accounting officers from the
company to which the claimants shall have
belonged, showing the number of horses
lost in said company, in manner afore-
said, the time when lost, and the name of
the owner"
Mr.. F. Jones made some remarks to
shew that this amendment would produce
no good effect, and would create useless
difficulties in the settlement.
Messrs. Montgomery, Rich, Vance,
Cannon, Mallary. and Moore of Ala. also
made some remarks on the amendment, u
the discussion continued until near s O.
