And whereas sundry person?, after having ob
tained certificates from the Jullices of the Peace, ,
negkfted to take out their tk-iiv.'js-; cod noiy. foi. /
O<X to retaw lpirimous. •uqenTe-, .&t
prevent, therefore, such abuses itffutufe, be it Eh- ft
atted, That every person applying to the Jufticcs
* of-the Peace for a certificate Hull, before the fame
is iigned by the firfl Justice, lodge the money for
such license with the said firft Just ice, which money
is hereby diredled to be forthwith paid to the Pub
lick Treasurer for the time being.
A FTER the breaking out of the Rebellion n
this province, the fubferiber could wot, wtfU
impunity, refufe the receiving Rebel money in
payment of many very large debts due to him
fore that time, as close imprifoonrent, fines, and
corfifcation, was the threatened confeque*te of
such refufal. The severity of all these penalties he
had too often felt to riflt the repetition of them for
what the then ruling powers called CoKtttm*ci.
When he was ordered to depart the Stott? under
fen'tence of fufferihg on a gibbet if ever he return
ed, and his whole cflate ccnfifcated, because he
would net abjure his revered Sovereign, he was
under an absolute necessity of paying his debts be
fore his departure, and he did it with the Repel
mGt.ey he was so compelled to receive, which was
to appealance very willingly accepted ; lent a fur
p!us, and fold property, (which he kv.ew would
be loft if it w;is left behind him, and which he
would not with if he was d.Terentiy
circundlanced) to people who had done what lie
refufed to do, (upon notes payable to Josiah 1 att
nall, Esq and himfelf, in oheand two years, free
of i-.tercll) whose motives and intentions in the
loan and purchase, from persons under their Hifa -
biiities, he leaves the impartial reader to determine.
When he returned from exile he could not eol
left more than one third of his personal estate, ana
that pittance was greatly dimimfhed by the siege
of Savannah, which followed soon after, and
m obliged him to desire payment of fome wealthy
obligees who had agaiif become good fubjefts;
but he was answered with the Depreciation, as
favourite a word a ; Inimical was formerly. We
then referred the matter to arbitration, and the
arbitrator on the other„fideL_Jwho was himfelf a
conformift, and who had paid a bond for another
person of 5001. due many years before the Rebel
lion, to jofiah Tattnall, Esq. with Rebel money,
and not the lcaft allowance made for the difference)
proposed the payment of one dollar for 36, which
prevented the decision in that way.
This overcame his dislike to law. A suit was
then commenced for that note and another, and
with 1 egret it is told he has been led a flow and,
very cxj>enfive riggle from one Court ko another
for more than a twelvemonth pall for the firft, and
for the second he had a verdift for one half the
sum, though both of them were payable in the
old current money, which bad not role then, nor
depieeiated since. When the firft trial will be h
nifhed none but a necromancer can foretell.
He did receive a small sum of Rebel money from
the Hon. Anthony Stokes, Esq. very willingly
before his departure, and as he has never hinted
the lead dislike to it since his name is of no conse
quence, as he would rather give the like sum 111
gold than be hampered with an arbitration : He has
therefore fbmo thought? to request the figuers of
. . ./ -———— ———
all notes for nidlicy lent, or property Told, dur} n
the Rebellion.'to.demand them gratis, if it
no; be thought by ill natured men a display Q c
condemned by them as seeking money that he ha
no right to Y> im unjufiJ'nits and’avaricious motives
A medium presents itfelf, (for he will not accent
a thirtieth part) to give up those notes upon con
dition that tiid ftgners will not prolccute him f O J
Rebel money lent them of no real value, or p ro>
perty fold which was intended by fome of* their Q Wa
subsequent lutrrages for corififcntion ; nor does he
believe arbitrator whose judgments are free to
aft, will award any material difference, efpecialiv
for trifting fum*:, in the value of Ipecie and that of
the old current money, for which gold and Elver
has been received by many pe >ple, without dan
ger (as he conceives) of the kail discount for de.
