I deny the validity of" any award by the parties referred to at Port Nicholson* inasmuch aa they had no authority Xrunr me for such a procedure, consequently, it was set aside by the Supreme Court, and the-affair opened de nova ; therefore* the conclusions founded on the assumption of "an account formerly settled by arbitration, and considered long at rest,'* fall to the ground. Secondly In November, 1839, did Mr. Williams enter into an agreement at Bydney, with Messrs. Wright aad Isaacs. to procure oil, whalebone, !&c, at certain prices, and bound himself under a penalty of j£soo not to sell these articles to any one else?

JCTOTICE. — To the Mercantile Commu131 ■ nity. and Public of Nelson.— Last Tear there existed a running account between Mr. Wright (commonly-designated Parson Wright), of Sydney, and myself, ".mounting- to one thousand six hundred and forty pounds, seventeen shillings, and nine pence. A difference having arisen aa to the correctness of our transactions, it was recommended- by Mr. Wright's agent, vis., Mr. Hay, that the case should be submitted to arbitration, which was accordingly done. Mr. W. B. Rhodes, merchant, of Wellington, was ap. pointed on the part of Mr. Wright, and Mr. John Wade, merchant, °of 'said place, on my part; when, after a moat strict, careful, and impartial investigation, these gentlemen awarded tßesum-of two hundred and twenty-eight pounds, two shillings and four pence sterling, aa being the amount in fun due by me to the said Mr. Wright. On this decision. I forthwith handed to Mr. William Hay, agent for Mr. Wright, the amount, and got a receipt for the same. This receipt and the other documents connected with these transactions are at present in the hands of Messrs. Empson and Co., merchants, of this place, who have kindly offered to show them to any party wishing to have proof of their authenticity^ ' It is now necessary that I should state my reasons for thus coming before the public. Having settled, as above mentioned! the' running account in question, according to the fiat of the arbitrator; judge my astonishment at being arrested yesterday at the suit ot the aforesaid Mr. Wright, for the sum of fifteen hundred pound*, on a writ granted by tbe authorities of Port Nicholson, the said writ bearing reference to the account fortoetly settled by arbitration, and considered long atrett. I consider that I am only doing an act of justice to myself in thus coining fivward to aUte these ' simple facts, which, if left unexptiined, night have proved prejudicial and highly Inimical to my eonanercßu reputatSon. I m»y adarfurthermort, that a proceeding more unjust or more outragaoaaeannpt be well imagined, when I asnire 'he public «Wff^psyrg*wfthat the aaioMr. Wright is a£present in rfly oabi^ attd wjbstry and rawfMUy'owink me* th4^auni of one hagireA andraetehty-aine pounds; seven iwflWy, arid sixpence, for my*e*vieel«o Urn from the rtta of April, l»41, up Wtkfc date, attk* rate, as p«r»«v«emcncV«£ie»pc><tuds par month.
