But if a Six l\!Ionths Credit is allowed on this balance it will be found not to be due untill the 28 May so that it cannot operate against any demand I have on the Land business. It ought also to be remember'd that my Drafts was protested in October and that at that time George Lau- man was in my Debt £481 ,, 11 as the last of the above goods say £652.12.6,½ was not deliver'd witill November the 28 th Nor was ~Ir Lauman under any obligation to deliver any l\'Iore goods than the Sum due me nor did I wish him to do so. I cannot see why Mr Lau- man may not as well demand a Credit for the £453.19.4 as for £171.10.3 as that amount of goods was taken up by myself four days after the £171.10.3 neither of which I conceive have any thing to do with the land contract, Nor can my being in debt to Ge.orge Lauman or Lauma.n and West be consider'd as a violation of my Contract with Blanchard and Lauman for Lands. I also wish to remind the Gentlemen who are to give an opinion on this business that Mr Lauman has agreed to make a discount on the above goods
