To the PUBLIC.
HEREAS Mr. John Ashe in
the year 7, configned to
the late Arthur Harper, of Wil
mington, a parcel of Negroes for fale.
Hearing of their arrival, I wrote to
Mr, Donald Bain, requefting him to
choole from among them a boy for
me ; and in the fame letter mention
ed, that thaMetter (bould bind msito*"
any terms he Ikould agree on. Pur-
fuant to my requelf, Mr. Bain made
choice of a boy for me, at the
price of ninety pounds, to be paid in
turpentine or currency at diifcrent
times ; that is to fay, forty-five pounds
to be paid in three months, and the
remainder in two or three months af
ter. And befides my letter, Mr.
Bain, as he has lately informed me,
left his own note as fecurity for the
payments. The’firlf payment
was pun6lually made to Mr. Arthur
Harper, by Mr. James Walker, at my
requefl, in turpentine, the receipt for
which I now have. And before the
fecond payment became due, having
advanced for Mr. Alhe, to vdiom the
negro had belonged, in calli, to more
than that amount, I informed Mr. Ar
thur Harper, that I fhould adjuft the
balance with Mr. Afhe, to which he
acquiefeed. Upon the death of Mr.
Arthur Harper, which happened foon
after, Mr. James Harper, as his rdmi-
nidrator, became poffeikd of M: .Bain’s
note, aifd requeued payment of Mr.
iiain, and though he has been repeat
edly infoirned by Mr. Bain and myfclf
of all the abov's circumdnnccs, and
that A'lr. Bam had tia,ila."!tt'd the mat* ,
ter only for me, he evades under one
pietcncc or another, the giving up faid
note, which raiics a luijneion, that he
has transfer!ed it, or means fo to do,
or othervvife to ufe it to Mr. Bain’s pre
judice J to prevent which, I have
01 ^ht it necelfary to (lase the affair
at large, and to declare that the note
has been jultly and bona fide dil-
chargtd.
