The Committee on Post offices and Post offices and Post Routes 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 most fully in
the views expressed in the Report made on the 28th Feby 1844 by the Comm. on Post
offices and Post Roads accompanied by the letter of the Auditor of the Post office
Department of the 31st Jany 1844 recommend that the claim of the petitioners be rejected. All the facts
of the case are very fully set forth in the Auditors 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[.]
