in doing so, and I trust Mr. W. will see the propriety of absenting himself from the Police Court until the offence with which he is charged is satisfactorily cleared up, His Excellency the Govr. is daily expected at N.P. and I shall feel it my duty to lay the copy of your communication to Mr. W. before him on his arrival. I remain etc. (Signed) H. King P.M. This letter of the Captains is addressed to the whole of the J.P.'s I have reason to believe should W. attempt to resume his seat on the Bench that the old Gent. will give him a gentle hint. You will perceive by this old fellow that I have not been quite in error as to my opinion of the worthy zeal he shows but very little now. J. I understand is fearfully cut up in the correspondence. There is to be another meeting called I believe to request that Col. W. will without loss of time either come himself or appt. some other person to go into the affair - in fact W. ought to desire instead of which he opposes in every shape. The matter is gone so far now that the settlers are collecting everything against him evidence to prove the injustice in allowing him to remain an agent in this quiet little Hamlet. For his sake I should wish the matter settled. Chilman as I have before stated offered in fact solicited that every inquiry should be made as to the truth of the charges preferred against him - if the other was honest he would have the same desire.
