Mr.. Richard Richardion having .'io !.
proper to offer to the public his fatemen'
Of d;fpure, between Thomas Welt Pey-
ton aud himfelf, MS deemed necehary BY
the friends Of the former TO fubmlt iacfl
explanations and documents relative 70
that controversy, as they could, IN the
ablcnce of MFR. Peyton, collect.
To aalwer the publication Of Mr.. Rich
ardfon rnipnfely would be only 10 meet
bsle and uninpporsed ahestion, by point
ed contradictions. The degree with which
he perverted and ditcoloured thoie circum-
frances, which occurred between himIeli
and Mr.. Peyron, may be eeimated from
that partof his conduit, which has been
fubjeaed TO the notice of third pertons.
Saturday the 3oth.of July, 1903, the day
before Mr.. Peyton's departure Tor Bath,
he lent the fuhioined letter TO Richard
Richardfon, marked no. IL On the
Monday following Mr.. G. P. 1homp-
fon, made the proportion contained IN the
fubjoined note 1 No. 10 Some difference
took place between them as TO the choice
of arbitrators: Mr.. Thompion not oh
jetiing TO Mr.. Richardson's having a
voice in the choice, but infaing tha,
none but men of impartial minds, and
unprecedented tempers, houid be choier,
and objeetlng to certain pcrfons mentioned
by Mr.. Riehardfon. A, length, in the
courlc Of Tusiday, Mr.. Thomplon refer
red Mr.. Richardion to Mr.. w. Jones,
jun. as the perion TO whom he might
make his proportions, ard who was re-
quoted and authorized 10 propofe or ac
eept any rational and joa compromife.
he did accordingly apply to Mr.. Jones
on the fubjett, and received from him a
written propoGtion TO the following ef-
fett--viz.
I" Its agreed, that the balance of II
barrels of flour, fhall be delivered to
Mei1rs. Richarlfon's on demand, by the
ageat Of Mr.. Peyton, and that all claims,
demands, and accounts, controversies and
differences between Mr.. Peyton and
Meilrs. Richardson's, relative TO their
accounts for the price of a barrel of rum,
and Mr.. Peyron's demand for the lois on
the lale Of a quantity Of bacon, Nlall be
iubmittcd, and the fame is hereby fub.
mitted, to the agbitratment, final deter.
animation, and award of or any
of them, 70 as the award Of the
Gaid arbitrators be made up and delivered
to each party within twenty days after
Mr.. Peyron's return TO town. 1t was
pretaced By a recapitulatlon Of the feve-
raj tranfattisns between Mr.. Richardion
and Mr.. Peyton, relative to the bacon,
The rum and the -four, and by an implied
contradiction on the part Of Mr.. Rich
ardion, Of f.veral unfounded and landcr
Gus rumoufs, circulated by him. Not
indeed, in exrrefs terms mentioning tboie
weak and malicious reports, but properly
and fairly explaining the motives and OBJ
jea Of Mr.. Peyton, and requiring an ac-
Acknowledgements OF them on the part of Mr..
Richardton. The paper concluded with
the following noge-viz.
g 1t will be remembered, however,
that the circumstances herein before ftared,
relative TO the bacon contract, and MIR.
Peyton's iubfequent refuial TO pay for the
rum, are merely the general ard leading
circumstances of the tranfat,ion, which
were thoughr necefary TO explain the mo-
tiyes of the parties; bur neither party
is to be precladed from going into evil
dcnce before the arbauasors, relpeefing
the more minute circumstances which may
be neceaary to be known, in order TO
have full understanding Of the fubjctf.''
Ii is to be obfcrvcd, that on the Mon
day Mr.. Richardiod had been fued, in
the name OF MIR. Peyton, for leveral ma
Iicious and unfounded flanders, which he
had circulated he objected 10 every part
OF The propofed compromiie; which could
