Mr. M. H. Sibley, from a majority of the committee on claims, to which was referred the petition of Lawrence Barclay for compensation for work done on the Seneca and Cayuga canal,

REPORTED:

The facts and circumstances on which this claim is founded, are fully presented in the report of Canal Board made to this House on the 26th March, 1834, (see Doc. 366,) and in the reports of the committee on claims of 1834, and of 1835, favorable to the petitioner, (see Assem. Doc. 1834, No. 379, and 1835, No. 247.) To these several reports, your committee beg leave to refer.

No additional proof has been presented; and upon that referred to in those reports, a majority of your committee are of opinion, that the claims of the petitioner upon the state do not exceed the sum of two thousand dollars, and interest; but they are of the opinion that the State is indebted to him in that amount at least; for the payment of which sum, they have directed their chairman to prepare, and ask leave to introduce, a bill.
