MR. Hrtv begins witli his AnlWer to what he lionours with the Name of a printed LIBEL, entitled, " A Rcprefentation to the Publick of Affaires between Gilbert " Barkh of Philadelphia, and John Hay of i^dec" " I went to Philadelphia, in July, 1762, as Mr. Barkly mentions, in Order to fettle . " tliere fully for our whole TranfaClions in Trade, from the Commencement of the Ar- «' tides in Paitnerftiip, bearing Date the 14th Day of June, 1756, as he had all the " Books in liis PofleiUon, at Philadelphia^ concerning the fame, preceding the Time I " left him at Louijhourg, but he did not chufe to fettle with me for any of our former " Traniaftions, he. he only would fettle with me for our Tranfaftions in Canada, and •« confequently an Agreement was drawn up lietwixt us, dated the 25th of Oihber, 1 762." He g^s on, and fays, " The overlieariug Difpofition of faid Barkh, whofc Threat- " nines had they been purfued, might have rendered abortive any future Method of " doing' myfelf Juftke, and confequently arty Terms at fuch a Time wcte agreeable to '* mc to (lEn.** In Anfwer to this Charge, fimply fupported by this lAan of Candour s own dearfclf, and in themfelves in mnay Relpeas contradiaory : , » •. • It is well known the Citizens of Philadelphia enjoy all the Privileges and Liberties due to free born Subjedls, as the Laws of England z^c the great Standard by which they arc H" Mr Hay had been at Conjlantmoph; in Flace of his being In a City equitably governed by wholfome Laws, executed under the Eyes of Juftice, tlie Dodrme he preaches miglit His°Sft Chajge is of f lanHiaions before he left LoiliJbourK, " Th •( all the Books and «' Papers viae at Philadelphia, his only Knowledge of tlicm being from Invoices, Bills of " Parcels Bills of Exchange, and Mr. Barkly's Letters j" and in another Paragraph he contradifts this, and fays, " That the Profits, after dedufting all Debts, appear in Fa- vour of the Houfe X^S 860 -0-3 Htf//7;/.v Currency:" Here he ftnkes a Balance even - . • .1 - r n u u„ .»eclares " Mr. h jDjuaiiwtf appears; at tne lame i mic nc muii. uc auuwed to appr to ferve hunfelt' in the feme Manner as what he calls his princinal Books had. He next declares, " That I would only fettle with him for the Tranlaftions m Canada, " and confequently an Agreement was diawn out, dated J5th of Oilober, 1762." Here he forgets his own Receipt in the Body of the above Obligation for ;C24o Halifax- CurrencY, for the former Affairs, in full of all Demands, and witli this £240 he debits me in,^ccompt Currant figned by himfelf, above Twelve Months after the Date of the The Settlement of Accompts made at Philadelphia was from Mr. Barkly's Books, and the fhort Abftraft brought by Mr. Hay from ^dec, from the falfe Books put into my Hands at my Airival here, this the Settlement itfelf proves. DurinetheTime Mr. Hay continued at PhiLidelphia, which was nigh four Months, my Compting Houfe and Books were open to him, and they ftill continue open to him, ^ould he require a Revifal of the Books. ^^ It will be too tedious ami iritfome to trouble the Piiblick with the Multituda'of Con- tradiflions and Inconfirtcncics in this VViiting of Mr. //y'g, at the lame Time I muftbc , cxexiled for mentioning a few of them, vh.. He made a Settlement of Accomnts at PhiliuLlphia, and gives a Difcharge in full of all Demands for a Siun of Money, and yet he made no Settlement, but wants to begin at the Beginning. He was friglitncd into any Teri^s he coidd get, in the free City oi Phitadclphii, and yet thcreal'ter, during the Courle ofTU])wa|ds of icvcntccn Months Correfpondence with the arbitrary Opprellor, makes no Complaint of any Kind of Grievance: He treats the Opprelfor, after his Arrival at S>ut'l>cc, as a Perfon he would willingly keep on Terms of Friendlhip with, delivers him all the Books and Papers lie demanded, and after leaving them in his and his Clerks Pollellion for nigh feven Weeks, continuing ftill on good Terms, yet in one Night fweeps the whole away, becaufethc TranfatSlions here were the laft, aind that he had made no former Settlement. He fold off all the Stock of Gowls on Hand at ^uchec and Monlrral :^t piiblick Vendue, and purchafed the mofl-of them himfcif for his private Ufe, by which he railed the Sales JC300 — Such was his Regard for this Ojipreilbr, that he prefciTcd his Intereft fo far to his own; and all this was done by Virtue of the Writing palled betwixt them at Philaddph'ui, and yet he had good Reafon for dcfiring this very Writmg Ihould be cancelled. He agreed that all the DilFerences betwixt us ihould be referred to fix or feven honeft Men, his own Fellow-Citizens, and when it came to the Pufh of figning the Bonds of Arbitration, he would not do it, becaufe, indeed, he did not chufe it, as Lawyers are better Judges of Accompts and Tranfaftions in Trade than Merchants. He faw George Richan dilmk in the Morning (when porting a Set of regular Books from his Waftc-book) and not working at his Books, and yet no Perfon but himlelf difcovered this : The Woik done by George Ricbim proVes his being capable, and his not meriting the Charailer fo mahcloufly given him. He is able to purchafe Breweries, large Quantities of Goods, be concerned in a Diftil- Icry, build elegant Houfes, tic. &c. and yet indeed he chufes ratlier to go to Law than - pay his Debts: Tho' Mr. B(ir/:/y was the fjle Father of the Houfe, by whofe Means all the Good? fcnt to Canada were purchafed, and who took on the Load of Debts; yet indeed he is much fufprifed that he fliould look into their Affairs and deted him to h.ne done me that jufcice which is due between honelt Men, but in Place of this, every l-tfort iu his Power has been ufed to diftiefs and ruinc me. • As to what he calls his Narrative, fo far as he mentions of Alfairs at Philuddplr,, fun- tjorted by his own dear felf, he undoubtedly deiires that the Tubliek Ihould believe tint that City IS governed by the moft abfolute Tyrant on Faitli, and that this very «rfri/y had fuch Influence that (its yVill Wfts a Law. ' ^ The Letter mentioned by him, dated the 24th of September, is anfwered by the Settle- ment and obligatory Writing, dated at Philadelphia, the 25th of Odoher followini'- And as to the Article? of Co-partn»!rlhip he mentions, it is abfokitely refilled, and Tellimoniils to that EfFea will be fcxin produced. Thofe Articles he fays were figncd iiilhert Harc i ^i He begins what he calls his Narrative, riz, " On the 1 4th Dav of June, 1 756, a Part- " iierfliip was agreed on and concluded betwixt Giliert Jiarl:lv, another Perlon and mvlelf " uiv '.he Firm of Barily & Hay." The Publick is rcquJlted to judge how Articles of Co-pau,v riTiip could be figncd Cilkrl Barclay, and the Firm of the fame Houle Barikh & Hay. Thtfc are fuch Contradictions that they only fhcw to what Lengths this mali- cious Man would go to wound the Character of the beft Friend he had on Earth.— Hut a Man, capable of Ingratitude, and guilty of Fraud, * will ftrctch every Point to blind the World : However, ftwbborn Truth is fuppoited by itfelf, and will in Edd /land.
