All this time, the gentleman purchasing the cotton, supposed Brown to be the owner of the waggons, whilst the unfpefting coun trymen believed him to be a partner in the house. On receiving the money, Brown stepped out to the waggoners, and ihewed it to them, ohferving at the fame time, that he had not the specie in the store, but, if they would wait, he would go down to the bank and bring it to them in dollars. ' Not harbouring the moil distant suspicion of fraud, the waggoners agreed to wait for him.
