This is, per- haps, the strongest possible case. The owner had not hired the slave to government, but the slave had been impressed against the will of the owner. If any case could be attended with circum- stances which demanded pay from the government for the loss of a slave, this was surely such a case; yet the committee, composed of men from the southern States, as well as from the northern States, appear to have come to the unanimous conclusion, that the allowance of this claim would be an o...verturning of the established usages of the government. They say, in their leport, that they had caused examination to be made at the Treasury Department, to see if slaves who had been killed in public service during the revolutionary war had been paid for. And they learned that no such instance could be found. They also cite a number of cases where claims were made for slaves killed, and those who died in the public service during the war of 1812, all of which were rejected. On the 9th April, 1816, Congress passed an act entitled "an act to authorize the payment for property lost or captured, or destroy- ed by the enemy while in the military service of the United States.
