No. 51. IN ASSEMBLY, January 11, 1836. REPORT Of the Bank of Poughkeepsie, in relation to unclaimed deposites, &c. BANK OF POUGHKEEPSIE, January 7, 1836. HON. CHARLES HUMPHREY, Speaker of the Assembly. SIR-I herewith transmit a statement of deposites and dividends in the Bank of Poughkeepsie, which have remained unclaimed by any person authorized to receive them, for the two years next preceding the 1st day of September, 1835. Names. Residence. Time of last deposite. Josiah Sutherland, Columbia county, January 24, 1832. Balance of Account,..... Amount. $14 66 This being the only case in this Bank, and the amount so small, that it would take the most, if not the whole of it to pay for publishing the statement, it was deemed best to notify the person to whom the deposite belonged by letter, which has been done; and the money subsequently drawn out by him.

Mr. Stetson, from the committee on grievances, to whom was referred the petition of Charles Baker and others, praying relief against injuries done to their lands by the Champlain canal, REPRORTED: That the petitioners represent that great injury is done their lands in the towns of Kingsbury and Fort Edward, in the county of Washington, by the discharge of the surplus waters of the Champlain canal, at the waste-weir near Dunham's basin, into Fort Edward creek. The facts upon which the petitioners rely are substantially embodied in a report made by the committee on claims, in the year 1832; (for which see Assembly Documents of that year, No. 130.) They may also be found in another report from the committee on claims, made to the House of Assembly, in the year 1834; (for which see Documents of that year, No. 101.) Both reports were favorable to the petitioners, and bills were accordingly introduced, providing for an assessment of damages. In the year 1835, the subject was again brought before the Legislature, and was sent to the committee on grievances. That committee, acting on the record evidence of former sessions, and it is believed with the recommendation of the Canal Commissioners, reported a bill, similar in its provisions to those just de[Assem.
