RATHBUN. [To accompany Bill H. R. No. 529.] April 17, 1858. Mr. Chaffee, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, made the following REPORT. TJie Committee on Invalid Pensions, to loliom ivere referred the papers in the case of John G. Rathhun, report : That they have had the same under consideration and find that said John C. Rathbun enlisted as a private on the 10th day of May, 1814, in the company of Captain Claudius C. Boughter, of the New York militia, and served until the 8th day of November, 1814. It is al- leged by the petitioner that he was taken prisoner by the enemy in the month of August, 1814. At the time of being taken prisoner he received three wounds : one with a sabre on the head, which fractured his skull ; another with a sabre on the left shoulder, which cut through the left shoulder blade ; and another with a pistol ball, which passed through the left thigh, from which said wounds he is unable to earn a living by manual labor. Marvin Morgan, a fellow soldier in the same company and regi- ment, swears to having been present at the time said wounds were inflicted. Jasper Morgan substantiates the statements of Marvin Morgan. Blewford Johnson and John H. Weir, who sign themselves sur- geons, swear that they have made a personal examination of the wounds, and are satisfied that they are of such a character as to in- capacitate the said John C. Rathbun from earning a living by manual labor. The applicant, as well as all the witnesses, are certified to be men of respectability and truth. Your committee ask leave to report a bill.
