| Legislative History In
order to enable the state legislature to devise a means for relief
of New Jersey citizens who had suffered personal damages during
the Revolutionary War, the Council and General Assembly passed an
act on 20 December 1781 to procure an estimate of damages done in
the state by the British troops or their adherents, by the Continental
Army, or by the militia of New Jersey or of neighboring states (Chap.
V, Laws of 1781, p. 6). The act authorized appraisers in each county
to make inventories for each damage claim, and required them to
file these inventories with the legislature at their first sitting
after each annual election. |
