J .-\NUARY 4, 1859.-Committed to a Committee of the Whole House, and. ordered to· be printed. • Mr. GREENWOOD, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, made the following REPORT. The Committee on Indian Affairs, to whom wa8 referred the memorial of Theophile Bruquier, a c:itizen of the State of Iowa, praying com-pensation for p'roperty alleged to have been stolen by a ba.nd of the Sioux Indians, have instructed me to make the following report : It appears from the memorial and the reports of the Indian agents referred to, that those Indians who were charged with appropriating the property of the memorialist, subsequently in council rec9mmended payment for whatever amount of property it might be satisfactorily proven had been taken. The ·proofs were submitted to the Commis-sioner of Indian Affairs, and the sum of four thousand nine hundred dollars was paid to the claimant. The sum uow asked for is almost entirely for consequential damages, which your committee are of opinion should never be allowed, unless under extraordinary circum-stances. No good reason appearing to the committee to justify a departure in this case from this rule, they report ad v:ersely. 

Theophile Bruquier.
