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. predation.
