compensation to him for his pretensions to the said Lordships of Alainville and de Hocquart by recom

mending him

to

His Majesty for a Grant of Land in some one of his Majesty's American Provinces

in consideration of his said pretensions as well as of the losses and expenses in which

he has been

involved by the proceedings of His Majesty's Governors of New York in Granting away Lands within the aforementioned Lordships in express disobedience to orders received from hence whereupon we

beg leave to Report to your Lordships.

That before we state Our opinion of what may be a reasonable compensation

to

M. Lotbiniere in

the matter referred We must observe that although his claims extend to both the Lordships of Alainville

and Hocquart yet upon a review of our proceeding in his Case we cannot for the reasons set

forth in Our report to your Lordships of the 25 th of May last see any such foundation in his pretensions to Alainville as can warrant the advising any compensation whatever to be made to him for his interest in that Lordship so that whatever we have to recommend will be

grounded

solely on his

claim to the Lordship of Hocquart and the consideration of the losses and expenses in which [he]

has been involved by the proceedings of the Governor of New York.

The Lordship of Hocquart is described as lying on the East side of Lake Champlain extending four leagues in front and five leagues in Depth and may be computed to contain about 115,000 acres
