NOTICE. [heading]
In consequence of O. I. Laurin having Published and Recorded in the Secretary[blank]s Office in Fort Island, Essequebo, a Caution to the Public from having any thing to do with me in transacting any Business on his Account from April 1804 to February 1805, when I left him; in vindication of my Character I now conceive it my Duty to Publish the whole proceedings and cause of Dismission, that the Public may not be led to Erroneous opinions of my Conduct: - I had been for a long period in the habit of Purchasing produce for the said O. J. Laurin, for which he gave me Letters to different Planters, and also Letters authorising me to do the same for him, as if he were personally present, which Letters I have now in my Possession, - in consequence of which, I made a Purchase of Twenty-two hogsheads of Sugar, at four Stivers per pound, from Wm. Robinson Esqr. on Leguan, which, from the distance they were Rolled, no doubt received some injury, but when they arrived in Town, they were refused, and landed on his Stelling, where for several Days they were exposed to several heavy showers of Rain, for which I have sufficient Testimony: the said Sugars were sold to Rd. Wells Esqr. for the cost, and other Sugars received in Payment at five Stivers, which were again sold to several American Captains at 4 & 3 stivers, consequently he sustained a loss of one fourth of a stiver only; - but he has charged me one stiver, and the Total loss which he makes, by his Account, f 1328 10sts, bringing me Indebted f. 1051 8sts which he makes me a present of. I ought in Justice to Honesty receive a balance of f 425 13sts justly due me for Salary as Clerk, - he also charges me f 9 for a Guaging [sic] Rod which got broke by accident, also f 9 10sts for a Box of Bubbles, I having per accident lost one, he has thought proper to charge me with them and detain them.
