Fergusson assures me that it is not in his possession. If the obligation, however, which seems to have been mislaid, should not be found, it will make no difference in the security, the executors having no wish or intention to avoid the fulfilment of the conditions in it, which they do not conceive that they have hitherto in any man JOHN FORDYCE. ner transgressed.-In my letter to Mr. Long, referred to in that which I have now received from you, and in another to the same gentleman, dated 31st March 1799, in which the securities given to the trustees for the treasury are more particularly described, Į mentioned my expectation, that "the river "Antoine estate, which had been wasted during the insurrection, having been re established, would after that time be as "< productive as it formerly was; and that if the then prices of sugar should con"tinue, the debts upon it prior to mine (being the sums advanced by the consignees) would be discharged by the crops of the subsequent year, in which case "not only would the value of three-fourth 66 " 66 66 66 "6 > C 71 Roman Catholic Petition,et Abrogation of a Standing Order, 613 Bread, Price of, 373 Catholic Petition, 40, 97, 161, 651, 742 Fox, Conduct of Judge, 25, 40, 105, 161 4 Melville, Lord, 587 Militia Enlisting, Bill, 192, 254 Ballot for a Select Committee on Carnatic, Affairs of the, 255 Grogan's Attainder, 167 India, War in, 29 India, State of Affairs in, 225 $180 Mutiny Bill, 17, 26 2 - INDEX TO DEBATES IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
