WSi uFcW up the necessary document, &c
hssigned by as many as participated in hi
views, and sent it across the Atlantic, with
out the slightest doubt or hesitation. Their
had been something in the rough blum
: honesty in Mr.. BIS letter that inspired
y in the man of law the utmost reliance on hi
q faith, though during the interval whicl
elapsed between the transmission of tn
deed and reception of an answer from ,h
States, several of hisfrends exhibited dis
position to make themselves merry at th'
expense of his chivalry. But, when we con
slider allthe particulars of the case, we ca,
hardly fail to perceive that he ran no risl
whatever; for even If the debt had not 1e
gally lapsed, the people who had retained j
in their memory through three generation
who had, from father to son, practised stric
economy in order to relieve themselves from
the burden who had, with much difficulty
and some expense, sought out the heirs O
their creditor in a distant country, coulc
scarcely be suspected of any inclination te
finish off with fraud at last.
Still, if there was honor on one side, there
was enlarged confidence on the other; and
in the course of few months the American
mail brought to London the famous f6OO
due since before the War of independence.
| The business now was to divide and dis.
tribute it. Ofcourse each of the creditors
was loud in expressions ofadmiration of the
| b. family: whose representative, while for.
| wardlng the money, asked with much sim.
Ptlcity to have few old English newspapers
sent out to him by way of acknowledgment
For his own part, however. he expressed a
| strong desire to behold some of the persons
to whom he had thus paid debt Of the last
century; and he gaze warm and pressing
invitation to any of them to come out and
stay as long as they Thought proper at his
house in Charleston. Had the invitation
been accepted, We cannot doubt that the
American would have acted as Hospitality
IN the character of host as he behaved hon
orabIy in that of debtor. 1t would have been
pleasure. we might indeed sayza distinc-
llon, to live under the same roof with such
man, whose very name carries US back to the
primitive times of the colony, when Charles
ton was city of the British Empire, and
English laws, manners, habits, and feelings
regulated the proceedings and relations OF
its inhabitants. 1t is to be hoped, therefore,
that the London Solicitor will some day drop
in quietly upon his friend in Charleston TO
smoke cigar, and discuss old times with
him. He will in that case probably fancy
himself eating with contemporary of Rip
Vna Winkfe. Doubtless there are thousands
of men in the States, where frequently every
thing that is estimable in the English char
acter is cultivated with'assiduity.
How the property was distributed among
the S. family in England we need not say.
Each surviving individual had his or her
share. The solicitor was only connected
with them by marriage; but with good old
English ideas of uprightness and integrity,
he was fully able to appreciate the Charles
ton lawyers sentiments. He would have
done exactly the same himself under similar
circumstances; and therefore had the sum
been tens of thousands instead of hundreds, it
could not be said to have fallen into bad
hands, Il, .z 44.f,..s.t .s.... -..s7 ..,ft
Whether the transaction above noticed
has led or not to a continued correspondence
between the families We are unable to say;
but we think the creditors in England would
naturally have felt a pleasure in exchang-
ing intelligence from time to time with their
worthy debtors In Charleston. These things,
however, are private, and therefore we do
not intend to trench upon them.
