On September 9, 1850, Senate Report No. 192 recommended inserting the Seneca six-part claim for $28,505.50 principal plus interest into the Indian appropriation bill (#1248). The enacted statute — 31st Cong., 1st sess., ch. 91, 9 Stat. 544–559, approved September 30, 1850 — contains no identifiable item for that claim under the Seneca entries or elsewhere in its full 16-page text.
This is a bounded negative for that particular law. It does not prove the claim was never appropriated later, settled administratively, or paid by another route.
At printed pp. 552–553 the act appropriates:
The $75,000 is a distinct treaty-related fund — not the committee’s $28,505.50 assembled from Phelps & Gorham principal, arrears, Ontario Bank income, New York annuities, a Buffalo-bank distribution, and Polly Jimeson’s personal deposit. Routine annuity wording also does not verify Treasury disbursement or receipt.
Chapter 91 does make explicit retained-money advances for other tribes:
Both are subject to federal reimbursement when recovered. Neither names the Senecas, Mrs. Jimeson, or the six-item Senate claim. The act could articulate such relief — and did, elsewhere — but the Senate committee’s Seneca recommendation is absent from this statute.
