What landed

After #1249 showed the September 30, 1850 Indian Department act (9 Stat. 544–559) carried no identifiable item for the Senate committee’s $28,505.50 principal plus interest Seneca claim, #1250 tests the next cycle: the enacted February 27, 1851 Indian appropriation (9 Stat. 574–587).

Result: routine Seneca annuity and interest entries appear, but no identifiable $28,505.50-plus-interest restitution item. Bounded negative for that particular statute only — not proof the claim was never paid later.

Chain so far

Doc.31 body, later relief acts, and settlement/voucher records remain open. Hays/Hewitt-style retained-money advances in 1850 do not reappear here for the Senecas.
