the goods and outfit, aforesaid, on board, of a Keel, boat having previously engaged two interpreters, one of whom was intended, to accompany, some of the partners, on some part of, said expedition to, the River Saint Peters and who it was, understood, the language of, the Sioux tribe, of Indians, and other other tribes who inhabit, those regions, , the name of this interpreter was FrancoisFrancois Lebalke, .-

And your orator furhter states, that they proceeded up, the said River MississippiRiver River MississippiMississippi, in said Keel, Boat, and were detained, at Portage some days in repairing, the boat, and arrived, at Rock Island - and it was, there determined, by and between the said ConnollyConnolly, and your orator, , that said ConnollyConnolly, should take one, one third, of the whole outifit, of goods, and one of the interpreters, and go and establish, himself on account of the company at or near the mouth of the River, and that your orator, and Manson, the agent, of FernonFernon, with Labalk, the interpreter, should proceed, to the River Saint Pierre in the, Keel Boat, with the residue, of the Goods and Equipment,

That accordingly, your orator, and said Manson ascended, the MississippiMississippi with, the interpreter, and the other hands, in, the Boat aforesaid and arrived, at about the Eigth or tenth, day of November, and about this time, the river was filled with ice, so that it was altogether, impracticable to, ascend the river, at that season, of the year:- that their pork and flour, was by this time, nearly consumed, and exhausted, and there, was no opportunity, of trading, with Indians, at that place: and your orator was, much at a loss, to determine, what course the outfit out to pursue and, which steps to, take for the benefit, of said - and before

he had come to any definite conclusion, he recieved, a letter from his partner ConnollyConnolly, requesting him to come to the mouth of the Soway River, with all or a part of the goods of the firm, , that he could dispose, of them, and that his gun, powder was nearly sold, and at all to bring him ConnollyConnolly a supply of the powder, without which he could not take his other Goods to the Indians, .

And your orator further states, that agreeably to the request of the said ConnollyConnolly as aforesaid, , he made preparations to join the said ConnollyConnolly and the MississippiMississippi, being then frozen, over and passable on the ice, he hired men trains and horses to carry the Goods he was about taking down to wit, about the equal half part of the two thirds, him & Manson, had taken together and left the remainder, with the said Manson, then he accordingly started, with the said goods on said trains and with much difficulty arrived with the goods at Rock Island, and the ice was not strong enough to proceed further in that manner- accordingly your orator believing it absolutely necessary that his parther should have a supply of powder took all that your orator had being on Horse back, and in that way went to said ConnollyConnolly at the mouth of the Sowy river. and delivered, to him the powder: and as there was not a sufficient quantity, of that article, it was, concluded that your orator should return, to St LouisSaint Louis by after, a further, supply of gun, Powder.

And your orator further states, that his partner ConnollyConnolly then there gave him an order on Mr Thomas HanlyThomas Hanly, of St LouisSaint Louis for a quantity of gun powder, and he started at that inclement season by land for that purpose, arrived

that the exact, quantity of Goods returned unsold by Manson, and your orator, , and which were stored, at Davis's, he cannot, say: the value at prime, cost was, he thinks somehwere, about thirteen, or fourteen Hundred dollars:- the goods returned, by ConnollyConnolly, having no thereof he cannot state, the quantity, or value, but believes, the quantity or value cannot be large, in proportion, to the others as ConnollyConnolly, had better success, in trade than the others, .

And your orator, further states that after the, said goods. furs, and were thus stored, as aforesaid, and also a quantity of feathers supposed, to be about four Hundred pounds weight about five hundred pounds weight, of Bees wax, about one hundred weight of sugar, the said Fernon & Connolly raised difficulties with your orator, refused to settle according to the sums of the copartnership and together to refuse him.

That the then brought to thirty six or thirty eight Packs or pactons of bear skins, deer skins, muskrat skins, racoon skins, beaver skins, & other skins, the precise number & quantity of each your orator, cannot positively state.

And your orator further, states that he regularly requested, of the said FernonFernon & Connoly, to divide, the said furs, pelts, , and effects according to said article of agreement which they wholly, refused and would neither come to a settlement, or decision, : and your orator therefore agreed with one EphraimEphraim, Tour to sell, him a part of the for cost at the following rates, Deer skins, at the rate, of thirty, three & one third cent per, pound. Beaver, skins at the rate, of three dollars per pound muskrat skins at the rate, of twenty cents each: Racoon, skins at fifty, cents each. otter skins at three, dollars each and,

at St LouisSaint Louis procurred Four Kegs, of Gun, powder, on the said order hired another interpreter, to proceed with, him in order, to trade with, some of the neighbouring Indians, , and returned to, the mouth of the Sowwy, River - Connolly his partner, had removed some fifteen or twenty miles from, his first establishment but the found, him at the mouth of, said Sowway, River, and delivered to, him two, more Kegs of, gun powder, - and left, the remainder, in charge of a French, trader and proceeded to, Rock Island brought down, the goods he, had left there to the mouth, of the Sowway, River recieved his Two Kegs, of powder and, commenced trading, with the Indians, at that place,

And your orator further states, that he continued, to trade, and traffick with, the Indians, , and used his utmost, for the benefit, of said partnership until, the spring when Manson descends, the River MississippiRiver Mississippi to the mouth, of the Soway River, having traded, very little with, the Indians with, the boat and the balance, of the goods -- that, his partner, ConnollyConnolly and, himself gatherd, together the remains, of the goods not sold, their skins, furs, pelts, and effects excepting, about two, Hundred muskrat skins & five guns, which were left, with the interpreter, and which were, afterwards delivered, to your orator, at St LouisSaint Louis and with Manson embarked in, the boat fo, St LouisSaint Louis and arrived, safely sometime, the beginning of May, and stored their, said goods, skins, furs, and at RalphRalph Davis's in, the said town, of St LouisSaint Louis &, that FernonFernon was then, at St LouisSaint Louis-

And your orator further states, that Manson, did not sell, or dispose, of many of the goods. That your orator, sold more, > to advantage but, not to the total, of the trade, of his partner ConnollyConnolly, who had been stationary, & trading, the whole winter,

Beark skins at three, dollars each, and caused Twenty, Seven of said skins, furs, and to be transported to, the cellar of,

Gibbons, in the Town, of St LouisSaint, St LouisLouis, to assort, and count, the same, and to receive, payment therefor from, the said EphraimEphraim Tour, for the said company but before, the said skins furs and, were then assorted & counted and finally delivered to, said EphraimEphraim Tour, , the said Fernon & Connolly retook, the same, or some part for them, so that the goods, and effects are still in, the power, & possession, of the said Fernon, & Connolly or have been sold, or disposed of by them - and the said Fernon & Connolly will neither, permit your orator to, have control, or power over, the said goods furs skins, peltices a& effects, nor will, they make, a settlement, or division thereof according, to said article, of Copartnership, : -

And, your orator further states, that the said FernonFernon, and ConnollyConnolly are transient, persons, have permanent place of, residence, or abode in, this terriroty, and are about to leave, it, for parts unkown, to your orator, - and your orator, is advised that, he cannot maintain an action at law against, them only account until, the said copartnership is terminated, and he is fearful that they will convert and dispose, of all, the said copartnership effects, and leave the county so that, your orator will be remidiless in the promises, and deprived, of his part & portion, of said property or, the proceeds,

and, your orator, further states, that the Bills, of account, and invoices, and sales, of said company are not, in his power, or possession, but are in the possession, or power of the said defendants, as he supposses, . So that the said defendants, can only, make a statement of, the partnership transactions, and your orator, hath frequently, in a friendly manner applied, to the said defendants, to make a fair and equal,

division, of said, partnership effects, , and to come to a fair, and just, account, and settlement, with your orator, .

That an invoice of goods returned by John ConnollyJohn Connolly, and the furs, and other articles by him traded, for and brought down the river amounting, to the sum, of one thousand and sixty eight dollars seventy eight and a half cents, will be seen by an account thereof herewith filed and shown marked Exhibit {no 9} of Defendants. that it was mu, - tually, agreed on by and between the complainant and these defendants on terms well known to the complai,

ant, and in virtue, of between him and FernonFernon, that the said Manson, mentioned in the complainants, Bill should go up the river in the place and stead of this defendant James FernonJames Fernon, and the said Manson, did accordingly accompany the said expedition and outfit as, is stated in the Bill and was, to receive, one half Fernons share of the profits. The defendants also admit, they obtained a license from the proper constitutional, authorities to trade with the Indians, as stated by the complainants, Bill these defendants do most absolutely deny, that they ever refused, to come to a fair and honorable settlement with the complainant, On the contrary, thereof they state that they could never, get the said com-plainant, to come to any settlement with them that they did once to wit, on or about the twenty third day of May eighteen, hundred and seventeen enter, into an obligation jointly, with the said complainant, drawn by Joseph T Garnier, in the penal sum of one thousand dollars conditioned that they and each of them should well, and truly abide by and perform the final award and arbitrament, of ThomasThomas Hanley, , Moses ScottMoses, Moses ScottScott and EphraimEphraim Tour, one of whom was chosen, by each partner, to whom the subject matter contained in the complainats, Bill was referred, and they the

said arbitrators and referees, after having been sworn, to do Justice to the parties, according to the best of their judge ment did accordingly meet at the Town, of St LouisSt Louis, on the twenty, eigth day of May in the year aforesaid, in the presence, of the said complainant, and these defendants and after having heard, all the statements and proof of the parties and examined, their accounts did make up their award in, writing now, here shown, and prayed to be made part and parcel of this answer marked, Exhibit, no 10, of defendants whereby they did under their hands and seals, order and direct that both the complainant and James FernonJames James FernonFernon, one of these defendants should stand charged with, the sum of $1776.32, by the complainant, being the amount unaccounted, for by the complainant and Manson, Fernon's, agent and that each one of them should be charged with half of said sum. that this award, was therefore show, to the said complainant with a request that he would comply therewith; which he utterly, refused to do. These defendants do therefore state that they never refused to settle the partnership, accounts with the complainant, but that they now are, and always have been ready to settle and adjust the same themselves or by any other persons, capable of settling accounts.

They admit however that they refused to let him have one third of the proceeds before a final settlement was made and all costs and charges were paid. and these, defendants do most positively deny, that according to their understan-ding of the terms of the copartnership, , the said complain-ant or either, of the other, partners is entitled, to any dividend until all the company accounts have been settled and all proper charges against it paid. and that in this case there were no profits made, but a great loss, sustained principally, by the bad mana-gement of the complainant and Manson, as appears, by said award. These, defendants also state and admit that they did take out of the possession, of the said.

Gibbons, the fur and, other articles belonging to the company which the complainant had improperly, and without the consent, of these defendats who were then present in the Town of St LouisSt Louis caused, to be removed from davis where they were first stored by James FernonJames James FernonFernon, to the cellar, of said Gibbons, , This step these, defendants were, induced to take from the conduct of said comp-lainant in order to secure, themselves; for they now have and then had every reason to believe that if the said complainant could have effected a sale and delivery of said furs, and other articles he would have possessed, himself of the proceeds of the sales and

left the county, and would have rendered no, account thereof but would have left these defendants to have from him in the best manner they could. The property so by them taken has been partly sold and the ballance shipped, to PittsburghPittsburgh, for sale as has already been shown, and herein, stated all for the use, of the company.

These defendants further ans wering state that John ConnollyJohn John ConnollyConnolly, after having ascended to Rock, Island returned, to the mouth of the river Soway, and had with him only about the one third part of the whole outfit, or capital stock, of goods. With which he continued, to trade there the whole season, that he had with him two hands only, one an, interpreter named , the other named Robert Hunter.

This defendant John ConnollyJohn John ConnollyConnolly, admits that he wrote, to the complainant at PrairiePrairie, not only for the gun, powder but also for the goods he had with him there, informing him that if he would bring them down, to where he was to wit, at the mouth of the Soway, river, they would all be traded and bartered, off there, ; But instead of doing this the said complainant, brought down, to Rock Island as he stated himself

only about the half of what goods he and Manson had at PrairiePrairie, du ChienChien, , including two kegs, of gun powder. From which place he brought down to the mouth of the Soway, river only the two kegs of power; having left the ballance of the aricles at Rock Island in care of a man to whom he agreed to give nearly double the amount of wages, paid by the company to any other hand; and which these defendants have been obliged, to pay. These two kegs, of gun powder were brought from Rock Island on the ice, and not, on horseback, as these defendants believe to be true and Why the complainant, could not have brought down all the goods there, in the same way these defend-ants Cannot say but they are of opinion they might and ought to have been so brought down, and that a great loss, has thereby been sustained by the complainant, . This defendant ConnollyConnolly, also states that the said complainant, on his arrival at the mouth of the Soway, river contrary, to his advice and consent, determined on coming down to, for more gun powder, alth. this defendant ConnollyConnolly urged, to him the inexpediency, of the trip even if it, were prcticable, and altho he was told that before he could get back, the trading season would be past. Discovering however that

he would come down to use his own phraseology, dead or alive, this defendant Conolly gave him an, order on Thomas HanlyThomas Hanly for gun powder which however he did not deliver at the mouth of the Soway, river until the season was nearly past. On, his arrival there he delivered to this defendant the two kegs, as stated and this defendant urged, him to bring all his goods and the ballance of the powder on his return from Rock, Island the second time with the goods left there by him in descending, to the house of this defendant who would inform him how, he might, trade them all off. But instead, of doing this he persisted, in establishing himself at the mouth, of said river, and within about ten miles of the establishment of this defendant. By this time the trading season was over. These defendants cannot say whether on the arrival of the complainant and Manson PrairiePrairie du, ChienChien, the river was so filled with ice, as to prevent them from ascending, the river higher. They however, think it probable that was the facts. But they are of opinion and think the said complainant, and Manson might have traded more at, that place if they had used the proper means and exertions, , and have done much better for the company. These defendants, admit that they are not

in the territory, , but they deny that they have any inten-tion of quitting, the territory or, avoiding a settlement of their company transaction, . They are preparing, another outfit for the Indian trade, and expect, to start, in a short, time for that purpose, up the river with the hope of returning to St LouisSt Louis, at the usual time for the return, of Indian trades which is the Succeeding Spring. All the goods brought down the river remaining, on hand, have been disposed of by these defendants: an account whereof is herewith thereon & filed marked Ehxhibit (no, 2) of defendants, these goods being greatly damaged & very unsaleable were disposed, of in such man-ner by these defenants for the benefit of the Company as they thought best-some at private sale and some at auction, as the defendants, could find, opportunities of selling them. This measure they thought most to the Interest, of the company to adopt for the following reasons; first to close, the partnership, transactions and pay off expences as far as they could secondly the said goods were liable, to become more damaged and and injured by being kept, on hand: thirdly, Goods and articles of those kind, were daily depreciating in value, throughout the united,

States as well as this Secretary-1st Interrogatory these defendants have already admitted the article of partnership as stated and the terms thereof 2nd to this these defendants say they have already fully answered & exhibited the invoice Shewing the amount of the Capital stock one third whereof each party was to pay for or be chargeable with

12. these defendants admit that ConnollyConnolly Traded with the Indians at the mouth of the river and that the amountand number of articles traded for & brought down both by him & the complainant have been shewn and are contained in the accounts thereof heretofore mentioned & filed

13. To, this interrogatory these defendants say they have sold some of the furs &, other articles the property of the company &, have shippd, others as herein before stated, & shown by the accounts filed.

To, this they answer, & say they have already fully answered.

15 To, this the defendants answer and admit they have the original invoices & books and that they are ready to produce them when & where this honorable court shall direct,

16 To, this interrogatory they say they have fully answered

17 the company made no profits but sustained a great loss to wit, not less than three thousand dollars principally owing, to the bad management of the complainant & Manson, as already stated,

18 To, this question the defendants say they have no intention to leave the territory but intend going up the river on a trading, voyage from, which they to return next spring,

And these defendants deny all manner of Confederacey & combination where with they stand charged in & by the said bill, of complaint without that, that there is any

other matter or thing material or necessary for these defendants to make answer unto & not herein & hereby & Sufficiently answered unto confessed or avoided Traversed or denied, is true. . all which matters & things these defendants are ready to aver and prove as this honorable court may direct and award & humbly pray to be hence dismissed with their reasonable costs & charges in this Behalf most wrongfullysustained.
