The Act of Congress, of March the 15^th, 1779, considers the Offi-
cers and Soldiers of those Corps which compose no Part of the
eighty eight Battalions originally apportioned on the States, as be-
longing to the Quotas of those States of which they were Citizens.

The Laws of the State direct the Commissioner for setling Depre-
ciation, to settle with all Officers and Soldiers, who are considered
by the Acts of Congress, as belonging to the Quota of this State.
We think that Lieut. Winchester of Col^o Gist's, one of the 16 addi-
tional Regiments, comes under this description, and ought to receive
his Depreciation.
