us from Peterborough, with instructions to obtain a return

bate duty until the SUCCelfiAl duty had bees paid. I have,
however, ascertained that ha has since received 421. from
Semerset.house, and by • letter which he wrote, dated
Nov. 23 last, • press copy at which I produce, he men-
tioned the receipt of that rotate. That letter he showed to
me at the time, and I asked what amount he had received.
He said , and I Oiled up the bleak in the letter for that
amount. The copy I proclaim was then taken, but I have
recently seen the original letter, in which I Bad that my
entry of 141. has been altered to 421. He accounted for the
14?., but not for the balance of 281.

tend to soroe old matters which you had had in hand. I dis-
charged you in the earl part of November, prior to the late
of this letter, but I did sot know then of this defelcatien.
