to any other of his commanding officers. Upon which your Commissioners beg leave to observe that the Certificates of Col[undecipherable: probable reading "Collett"] of Lieut Beavan contradicts the evidence they obtained when the return was made & subscribed by them on the 25^th March 1783 & that the evidence of Lieut Thomas Glascock is not of any effect it having been transferred from the Georgia to the Virginia line in Sept^r 1780 & appears to have been a Prisoner during a great part of the time that Lieut Col. Pannell claims pay. Your Commissioners beg leave further to observe that the certificate of other officers [undecipherable: probable reading "carries"] with it a belief that Col. Pannell did not resign his Commission. And further it appears improper that the inferior officers [undecipherable: interlined insertion] should intimidate those of their superiors. Whereupon your Commissioners in consideration of this contradictory evidence is opinion that the claim of the Petitioner is not yet sufficiently supported to authorize a Settlement.
