"Joseph Leggett doth affirm that he was present when Requaw's pork was repacked by the aforesaid Hunt, and told the Company, of which Col. Haminan and the repacker were two, that the pork was ven much moulded, and that he saw the said repacker put several pieces to his nose and throw them aside, but did not see or learn that Col. Hamman gave the repacker any orders or instructions about the said Pork. The affirmant farther saith that in his opinion the said Pork was not merchantable.

" That he, the affirmant, saw Col. Haminan cull one Barrel of Pork out of four or five, but that the remaining three were good and merchantable. Martin us Van Wart, being sworn, deposeth and saith that he sold Col. Haminan five bbls. of Pork ; that he was present at repacking the same ; that the said Col. Haminan, upon a door which he had laid down, took and laid the prime pieces of said five bbls. ; that four bbls. were filled by there packer, Hunt, and that a bbl. was filled with part of the prime pork and marked by the repacker, the remainder of the said prime pieces of Pork the deponent took back ; and also that he, the deponent, heard the repacker commend the whole of the said pork as he was repacking it, and that he does not know whether Haminan took the said bbl. prime pork to himself or not. From the foregoing Evidences it appears to this Committee that the charges exhibited against Colonel Plammau, both in regard to the affair of the Pork and neglect of duty as an officer, are entirely groundless, and that therefor the said Colonel ought to be acquitted from all further trouble on these accounts, and returned to his regiment immediately.
