Report on the Memorial of the Officers of the South Carolina Regiments

Report on the Memorial of the Officers of the South Carolina Regiments. A memorial of the late officers of the South Carolina line on Continental Establishment was presented to the House and read, praying that provision may be made for securing to them payment of the six months' pay granted them by certain resolutions of the late Congress, and which they have never received. Hamilton is of opinion that claim of memorialists not be admitted; the past situation has given too much occasion for complaints of individual hardship which is to be regretted but not redressed. Confusion would ensue from a departure from former decisions and established usages.
