Fellow citizens , He on vour ppavd in dear’ g wi*h Samuel Br !■. ,he <aitr wealth anJ *>4 a | arify, that he forgets ?o do justice | ro his belt friends at all times. — I Lafl December I delivered unto Samuel Brooke 57701 b, of feed cot ton, for laid cotton was to receive one for four, but said Brooks de tained in his hands 991 b. of gin’d cotton to niy damage from the a bove weights, and with the aflur ance to tell me that he done me every justice. Said Brooks weigh ed said cotton at home, and atten ded personally to the sale of said cotton in Augusta. I was in hopes that he would haVe done me justice whenlcariied my cotton, lor the following reasons —at his fraudu lent Sale in 1812, that he had in in my opinion to defraud his jolt creditors, his brother being the principal one ; 1 went to laid sale determined not to bid for anv ar ticles, when said Brooks ordered his wife out o! ohe of his chairs and (he very lusty ; at their request l bid in to the amount of forty-nine dollars eighty seven and a half c’ts and gave my note with Elizabeth Houghton iecurity, said note was delivered to Francis Murphy while | the officers had fair Brooks in cuf , tody by a Ca-fa, at the inttance of I Capr. A. Simons, said Brooks Was about coming out of Jail by the act, and give up all his property— Will iatn Covington then informed me that said Brooks swore out of Jail in the state of Maryland and for several nights before his coming out kept an ox cart bawling his goods to his wile's father’s. It (truck tne forcibly that my notr was put in Murphy’s hand ar. ’ there would be no further said of it—the captain in order to lave his debt, let Brooks out of jail by giving said Murphy and John Wil liams as security, said Murphy died and (aid note fell into the Admin iftratoi’s nands, whfi h hb held as collateral security for the payment tocapt. Simon, said Murphy bought of said Brooks cattle anti hogs and gave his note for 30 dollars, this honest gentleman Brooks, as he calls himfelf, killed &eat laid hogs and traded off said note, the admin istrators only got the cattle for the widow and orphans. —lt is like the rest of honest Sam’s conduct, he sold to Nathaniel B'aley his Land and Negroes end has kept poflef fion ever fmee—when he told me of ir, my reply was it would over settle that amount of property to a man just coming out of his ap prehticcfhip, quite poor and no se curity ; not being a mortgage of | the property fome time afterwards I one of the party told me that they had concealed the paper and took a mortgage on the property. I ; Inspected at the time antedated i them to imitate the rest of his ! conduct, the adminiftratof has of fered laid Brooks my note of forty nine dollars eighty seven and a half cents for that of the effates for 30 dollars, but honest Sam has eat up the widow’s hogs, and in case he get hold of my note as above dated he will trade it off. Slid note is for 401/ 87 1 sets, paya able the 25th Dec. 1812, signed Ezekiel Harris and Elizabeth Houghton as I bid in the property for said Brooks* and alter his isle gave my note for 25 dollars more in order to let his family have milk. When two of his neig! hour’s re fused complying with his terms of Ele that had bid too lew for him Samuel Brooks has the whole of the property left with him and the poffdfion of property never offered without said Brooks has offered it as he did the widow’s hogs. From the above circumstances I am led to be lit ve no honest man w ill trade iaie nett aiatcic cescribui and 1 take this ri ethed in forewarning the balance in society of trading of said note, it will be at their risque.
