WEDNESDAY MAY 7.
The Resolution moved yesterday by Mr. Lee for indemnifying
military Officers, being reported by the Committee was agreed to.
The Committee on a motion of Mr. Dyer, reported “that the
States which had settled with their respective lines of the Army
for their pay since Aug 1. 1780, should receive the securities
which would otherwise be due to such lines.”
The Report was opposed on the ground that the settlements
had not been discharged in the value due. The Notes issued in
payment by Connecticut were complained of, as being of little
value.
The Report was disagreed to. See Journal.
