officers shared the same feeling; under the

in the United States was paying the Cayuga
Nation, of *hitch there Were over 1,008 in
Canada. The Cayugas in this country
would do all they cool& to keep along such
a feeling because it added to, their purse.
The claimants had no 'friend it court, so
that 39 years passed before they were able
to get even a partial hearing. They tried
several times, but met with. rebuff."
. In answer to General Stiong's mission in
1884, the coMmisisioners of the lend office
decided that it was not competent to act in
:the, matter, ". the Court of Claims and the
Atterhey•General had already decided
against him. He then took the 4tase into
the Supreme COMA and asked. a jorridamus
to compel the paymeot of the Calm and
this Was denied: The case Was taken into
the Special Term and an adverse decision
was given by Justice. Peckham. General
• Strong carried it to the General Term,
and he was sustained. The State then
appealed to the Court of Appeals and the
adieoctzisonion: was that the courts had no i.nti_s-
