17 May 1871
The Southern Claims Commission were occupied yesterday with the cases previously mentioned. The claims were of the usual character, mostly for fencing burned, forage fed to cavalry, and wagon horses, poultry, &c., taken by Blenker's men in the early part of the war. To-day, May 17th, is allotted to the cases of Henry McWilliams, $55; Lewis McKenzie, late member of Congress, of Alexandria, $3,926; and James Nokes, of Nokesville, Va., $13,235. The Commissioners are still deliberating upon the best and safest means of taking the proofs in those cases that cannot, for any good reason, be brought before them personally.
