reasons to be ill-fo inded. The offices which these gentlemen held out of the line were temporary, and the additional pay and emoluments were certainly promised to them while they continued to serve in those offices, and no longer. If they are supposed to found their claim to the commutation of a Major, under the head of additional emoluments, their claim must be ill-founded, for it is clear, from the terms of the resolution, that pay and emoluments do not signify the same thing, but the commutation is the substitute for pay alone, or half-pay, and not for rations, nor any other emolument. On the whole, the Committee are of opinion that the Paymastergeneral, in settling the accounts of the army, in all claims which may be brought for half-pay or commutation, should be determined by the Act of the 26th January, 1784."

IN CONGRESS, June 3, 1784.

Resolved, That an interest of six per cent. per annum be allowed to all creditors of the United States for supplies furnished or services done, from the time the payment becomes due.

IN CONGRESS, March 8, 1785.

Resolved, That the officers who retired under the resolve of December 31, 1781, are equally entitled to the half-pay or commutation with those officers who retired under the resolves of the 3d and 21st October, 1780.

IN CONGRESS, August 11, 1790.

And be it further enacted, That Caleb Brewster, lately a lieutenant, who was wounded and disabled in the service of the United States, be allowed three hundred and forty-eight dollars and fiftyseven cents, the amount of his necessary expenses for sustenance and medical assistance, while dangerously ill of his wounds, including the interest to the 1st of July, 1790. And that the said Brewster be allowed a pension, equal to his half-pay as Lieutenant, from the 3d of November, 1783, he first having returned his commutation of half-pay.
