Sol Finding #1119 — Tribal Annuity Budget vs Cayuga Apportionment
1848 ch.381 lists four tribal annuity budget lines ($7,361.67) separate from ch.122’s Cayuga census-apportionment procedure — two acts, two kinds of evidence.
Sol Finding #1119 (repo 1848-tribal-annuity-budget-versus-cayuga-apportionment, commit b7b1a31): chapter 122’s Cayuga census-and-geographic apportionment instructions did not themselves state a dollar appropriation. A later separate fiscal act, Laws of 1848 ch.381, lists “For the payment of annuities to Indian tribes, viz:”
- Onondagas — $2,430
- Cayugas — $2,300
- Senecas — $500
- St. Regis — $2,131.67
Arithmetic total $7,361.67 as nominal listed budget authority for FY 1848–49 — not documented cash transfers, and not the nearby agent salaries, land-purchase, or reservation-school lines.
Boundary: the $2,300 Cayuga budget line and ch.122’s allocation procedure are separate kinds of evidence; juxtaposition does not identify recipients or prove disbursement. Keep distinct from Finding #1117 (ch.122 procedure alone) and #1118 (school deposit-fund lines on the same budget page).
Primary: Laws of NY 1848 ch.381 annuity block + ch.122 (March 25) procedure.
