A NOTICE -
HAVING been published in the Wilming
ton Gazette of last week, signed M.
Campbell, respecting my offer to sell a lide
Swamp Tract, between Old Town and Cla
rendon, wherein circumstances were stated
that might mislead the public mind respec
ting ray conduct, I think it necessary to reply
by the following explanation.
James Carson, in January 1796, agreed to
purchase from me part of tract of land ori
ginally granted to, John Grnge, next above
Old Town. From the bent information we
could then obtain corroborated by the appear
ance of Grange's old settlement and a divi
sion iine marked by John Ancrum, whilst he
possessed Old-Town tract and Grange's tract,
and which line began at the mouth of the 2d
Creek above Old Town Creek ; Mr. Cafkon
and myse lf had no doubt .respecting the line
of Old Town tract & of course Grange', lie
in consequence built on the very siiuutioit of
the old settlement, and a Deed was made on
the 6tli of April, 1797, conveying all my land
between thirfnouth of MaUry Creek and Old
Town Plantation, with an explanation which
shewed our understanding kuy ol'Old
Town liny. Soon after "my sale tj Carton,
CjI. Head claimed the land and-contended
'that Grange's tract lay altogether below Jie
i l Creek, ml tbnt Uld Town Plantation or
T-act extended no higher up tbe river than
t; j hrit Creek above u ; alter a lung and well
kn'wn suit he prevailed at November terra,
"1K0J. In consequence wherewt I purchased
' the land 1 had sold Carson from Col. Head,
'and thus quieted the possession of .Mr. Poi
sun, who had bought Hie low r part of Car
ton's phmation which is the part i.ow owned
ly Mr. U'ampUll and which was valued by
two very rtsnecuhlc gcutlrmeu as contain
' ing h6 acres of Tide Swamp k C3 acres ol high
land as appears by a copy of Carbon's Deed,
now In my pusesion. . In this valcution i
uiUvrstood and bchere they beg u at the line
'rttahlished between Cron and mysdf, and
did not value or e acre below the -d Creek. A
'the tide land ws valued by the acre at au
li(',h rate U bnt 6 acres to Mr. Pviskon, is it
reaon:iblc to suppose that ('arson mould not
li.itf l.vi the ITU acrvs below valued," if he
thought he !iad any claim to it, lor by an ac
curate survrf, that is about the qusntily of
Tide Swamp between the first and second
C:Tki aboT Old Town f Mr. Poisson sold'
what he purdated from Car son to Mr. Camp
bell who has thought it proper to inform the
TniMic that I own ho such land as a tract
between Old Town snd Clarendon." That
Public will judge of the propriety of bis inlor
tnatton whin contrtstcd with tbu verdict of a
jury, and l o( Lis justice in claiming I 0
acres rf Tide Swamp more than was valued
to l.ls predecessor through a mistake arising
from the want of knowledge as to Old Town
line, ai d which mistake or misapprehension,
it clearly proved by Its being well known lhat
I did not claim the land he now corlcuda for,
tiU since the verdict of the, jory which was
more than sit feiri Uhf the execution of
toy Dcci. Th mistake, However, it I ap
prehend, eas'dy cleared op to tdmit o(
doubt bf reading t little mart of the Drrd
Mr, Camp'wll mentions, than what be hss
'thtujhtfnttr ta publish.. Tor, siuSosigb he
i correct, in slating that B.S.M conveyed to
Jamct Caron all his lands between MaJarr
Crctk and Old Tom rdantttion.? ttt I think

w, llnealed by Johf. FltfAwW (who viasml fi
pltytd bj the before nuntienea James Iak
w sow, to ascertain the lines of said Benja-
raia Smith, between the mouth of Malary
" Creek, the Beaver Dam Branch or Creek, i
" and the lines of Old Tovn Plantationf -and
11 made return,) as in a copy of his plot deli
tered bj said Jamet Car im hereunto annex-
ed." If, therefore, James Carson's sur
veyor did make a mistake in "ascertaining
the. line of bid Tosrn Plinutiot-,w is '
James Carson or his representative M. Camp
belt to take advantage of it, and I, who did
'didJhot employ the surveyor suffer by it ? I
was so guarded in this respect, that 6i the
back of the plot are these words, ' Be it re
' memberedthat the within plot is annexed
to the Deed, to gratify Mr. Carson, but 11.
S. is not bound for the accuracy of it." In
the plot, however, the said 2d Creek and the
whole of the land intended to be sold is clear
ly described by certain lines, and I never can
believe that a jury of the country will sanc
tion Mr; Campbell's possessing land out of
, these lines which at the time I conveyed all my
land between Malary and Old Town, was not
claimed by me, nor for several years after;
wards,Ktherefore could not be intended tobe
sold as my land ; nor did I know Mr. Campbell
possessed any of the land offered for sale when
' I advertised, otherwise it should not have been
included, as I undertand it is illegal for any
person to purchase land from one mail, which
Is possessed already by another. I-shall with
draw the offer of it lor sale 'tillthe injustice of
M. Campbell's pretensions are proved before
thatTrlbunal which the laws of our country
have wisely appointed lor determining ques
tion ofpropsrty, not doubting in the sm.i!!et
degree the issue of a conrroveruy in which
1 am drawn much ugaiiut mv inclination.
