The claimant in this case states (on oath) that he was ejected from his place by one Berry Atkinson in the fall of 1835 in pursuance of an act of the Legislature of the State of Georgia, making it lawful for its citizens to remove the Cherokees from the Georgia lands who had become reservees under former Treaties, and as this act extended to their descendants, the claimant was dispossessed, his Father having been a reservee under the Treaty of Calhoun. The corn charged in this account was taken from him by the said Atkinson, on the ground that the crop was made after the passage of the act above named.
