THIRTIETH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
Report No. 267.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
EDWIN PORTER & CO.
February 29, 1848.
Laid upon the table.
Mr. Goggin, from the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads, made the following
REPORT:

The Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads, to whom was referred the petition of Edwin Porter & Co., having duly considered the same, make the following report:

This claim has been heretofore fully examined by other committees of the House, and adverse reports have been made thereon; and this committee concurring more fully in the views expressed in the report made on the 28th February, 1844, by the Committee on the Post Office and Post Roads, accompanied by the letter of the Auditor of the Post Office Department, of the 31st January, 1844, recommended that the claim of the petitioners be rejected. All the facts of the case are very fully set forth in the Auditor’s letter, above referred to, and that letter and the report of the committee having been printed, the committee deem it unnecessary further to embody it in this report than merely to refer to it.

Resolved, therefore, that the prayer of the petition of Edwin Porter & Co. ought not to be granted.
