The Committee of Propo's & Greivances No. 2 to whom was referred the Petition

late Army of this State.
Report
  That in the Opinion of your Committee the claim stands in the same 
situation with several others heretofore reported on by them, and they are 
of Opinion that it would be highly improper to make any partial allowance
