In 1815, Lieutenant Governor General Gore appointed for this purpose a commission which submitted a report in 1816; but no claims were paid. A new commission was appointed in 1823 under provincial statute (4 Geo. IV; Chap. 4). 25% of the amounts paid on claims approved by the new commission came from imperial funds.
