If any case could be attended with circum- stances which demanded pay from the government for the loss of a slave, this was surely such a case; yet the committee, composed of men from the southern States, as well as from the northern States, appear to have come to the unanimous conclusion, that the allowance of this claim would be an o...verturning of the established usages of the government.

And they learned that no such instance could be found. They also cite a number of cases where claims were made for slaves killed, and those who died in the public service during the war of 1812, all of which were rejected.
