e year 1763, or 1764, (and from whom the fubferiber pur
e chafed bills of exchange to amount of several hundred

ot Assembly of said state, now of Brunfwick, New-Jersey,
assignees of said Scott & M 4 Michael, to come forward aad
pay ever the monies they have had in their hands belong-
tng to the creditors these 3» or 33 years. Some years a- (
( go the creditors were called together ; Mr. Cox appear
-1 cd in behaJf of himfeK and Mr. Bayard, and alleged tHat {
s were apprehensive they might be brought into trou-
1 ble if they parted with the money (which I apprehend is
t some thousands,) as his Britannic Majesty had a debt due
1 him for government bills: it was however agreed by the
1 creditors met, thit the assignees fhoul 1 take the opinion of
e counsel; they did so, and it was that they would be fafe
i in dividing the money among the creditors. I urged Mr. J
- Cox to bring the buiinefs to a final close ; his answer was,
1 it would be but a trifling sum; my reply was, if ever so
s trifling, I would have my proportion of it. It has how-
[ ever iain over.
\ 1 therefore hope the creditors will now come forward v
and oblige the assignees to divide whatever they have, and v
they onght to pay intcrtft too.
