REPORTS OF STANDING COMMITTEES.
The Committee on CLAIMS submitted the
following report which was received and
accepted;
Roo0is COMMITTEE ON CLAIMS,
- New Orleans La, October 10. 1868. !
To the Hoporable Speaker and Members of the
| Your Committee on Claims to whom was
recommitted the claim of B. We'll for
Sl40, S44 32-100 beg leave to again report
taYorably for the payment of the same.
After careful examination of the claim
they have been unable to find any cause
why the claim should not be paid. 1t is
shown by evidence that the goods were
delivered to the State of Louisiana for the
sole benefit of her destitute and suffering
citizens who actually received them, and
t that the State in return collected cotton
which was set apart for the payment of the
above mentioned claim, but owing to the
treachery of the State agent, Colonel McRay,
the cotton which belonged to the State was
released and given up to Messrs. Ball,
Hutchings y Co., parties who had no right
or claim to it, and who had it shipped to
Liverpool, thereby losing to the State the
/ amount which should have liquidated the
said claim of B. We'll, who afterward pre-.
sented his claim to the Legislature of Louisi-
, ana OF 1865, where it was referred to three
+. standing committees of the House of Repre-
, sentatlves, VIZ: Committee on Claims Com
mittee on Judiciary, and the Committe on
Finance, all of whom after a careful exami-
nation OF the whole matter reported favor
: ably to the payment of the said claim. Tie
House then passed an act making the appro-
priation and sent it to the Senate for con-
currence, but owing to the lateness of the
e time when it was received by the Senate,
who were on the eve of adjournment, they
were unable to reach the case although the
session continued until midnight, conse-
| quently the act did not become law. The
claim was next presented to the Auditor of
Public Accounts, who settled the same by
issuing fifteen certificates of indebtedness of
the State of Louisiana for a much less
amount than was claimed by the said b.
Wen, which certificates were duly approved
by the Governor.
Your committee therefore recommend
that an appropriation be made to pay said
claim; and as the amount is large, and con-
sldering the financially crippled conditions
the State, would recommend that bonds be
