And shall make report of their doings to the General Assembly to be held at Hartford in May next. And Roswell Judson, Esq., is appointed to conduct said examination before said committee as an attorney on the part of said Indians, provided always that the expense of said committee and attorney shall be defrayed by said Indians.
