Mr. HuBB,\RD, from the Committee on the Public Lands, made the fol-lowing REPOR1,: The Committee on the Public Lands, to whom was referred the petition of John H. Robinson and Robert S. Pearce, praying for the right of pre-emption to a quarter section of public land in the Cherokee cession, Ah-bama, on account of being unjustly deprived of a pre-emption right under the act of 1830, have had the same under consideration, and have in-structed me to report, that the claim of the petitioner is not supported by any of the facts alleged in t;Je petition, except the mere statement of the two petitioners; and the committee are of opinion that it would be highly im-proper to grant any claims not supported by proof of the facts alleged in the petitions. rr'hey, therefore, ask to be discharged from the further con-sideration of the petition, and that the petitioner have leave to withdraw the same, if he should so choose.
