BosroN. Goth Nov. 1851.
Mr.. EDIToR,-I have Just received
the Nevada Journal of Oct llth, 1851.
and was surprised to fnd my name used
in the columns of your paper in an ad-
vertisement, over the signature of VIM.
P. Bennett. Mr. Bennett and myself
were on terms of amity up to the date
of my departure from Nevada, never
having had any difficulty in conse-
quence of our business transactions. and
| feel at q loss to know what his object
can be, unless it is to disguise the fact
that he, Bennett, did fraudulcntiv rep
resent to b. Phelps, Esq, that ho held
a note upon me which was due and un-
paid, thereby inducing MIR Phelps to
agree to pay said note, Notwithstanding
h., Bennett had received the money.
and receipted against said note before
he made such fraudulent Representations
to Phelps, as from Il comparison of the
| date of such receipt with the date Of
the agreement between Bennott and
Mr.. Phelps, will fully appear At the
request Of Mr.. Pine ps, left said re-
ceipt in his possession, which NAV be
seen at any time. by any one making
application. But | must state ~ tew
more facts Sin or er that it may bo seen

fraudulent intent
Then, first, it is fact that the afrc-
said VIM. P. Bennett did oan me 5000.
for which | executed note in the
words and figures following Due Viii
liam F. Bennett the sum Of two hun
ded dollars, for value received Neva-
da city, May 2Sth, 1851. Benjamin r.
Martin The original note may be
seen at the Nevada Journal Office
Secondly, it is Il fact, that I did pay
$50 on the note very soon alter it was
drawn, as will more fuiiy appear by a
certain order also at the Journal Office
for Inspection in the words ana figures
following
$500, Nevada city, May 20, 81.
Mr.. b. r. Martin will please pay the
bearer thirty-five dollars and oblige
VIM. p. Bennett
1t is fact, that VIM p Bennett and
myself did in the month of July, become
interested as partners in o saw mill, and
that afterwards, to wit about the 9Th
day of August, 1851, sold my interest
in said mill to-Mr. G. w Woodson 1t
is also fact, that my receir: to Wood
son for the purchase money, did express
and show upon its face, the extent of
my interest as sold to Woodson, in near
ly, If not absolutely these words :
Which interest is understood to be %.
the extent Of all monies heretofore paid
to William P. Bennett by me, cxcep.
the sum of two hundred dollars; which
was in discharge of promissory note for
that sum executed by me to said Ben
nett," as may be seen by inspection Of
the receipt now in MIR. Woodson's hands
Consequently, it is not fact, as stated
by Mr. Bennett, that sold to Noodsoh
as 1t stood with it's liabilities, including
the 1900 note
1t is fact that the statement Of Ben
nett, in relation to the trade between
MIR. Phelps and myself is false, as any
one may learn, on application to Nr.
Phelps.
In conclusion, the aforesaid Bennett
says, Il have nothing to fear from .ayes-
tigation, for have no further to go han
