Bay
Du -- vin 15th April 1819
Sir
Mrs Duplesey came
to me by your directions in consequence of a lot in dispute between her
and Joseph Muzroll, son of Peter Muzroll. He has lived on
it some years I believe and is on it still, said Lot is between Joseph
and John Tibodo in the upper Bay Du vin grant. She says he told her
last fall he did not want the lot, in consequence of which she has part
built a house, now he refuses to let her have it, she says because some
people threatned that they would not do anything for him that he was
depending on, I told her I could not write for her unless Joseph
Muzroll, son of Paul Muzroll, would come to me and let me
know the circumstance of the matter, accordingly he came and said he
heard Joseph Muzroll tell Mrs Depleccy he did not want the
Lot, and she might have it. Two other witnesses says the same, as you'l
see by the enclosed. I don't understand that Muzroll ever apply'd
for the lot.
Since this Joseph
Muzroll came to me and said he would tell the truth, he said he did
tell her he did not want the lot and she might have it. Likewise he made
considerable improvement thereon, He says he will not give up his right
untill he is paid for his improvement and likewise says there is land
enough cleared on the lot to serve them both for one year and she has
broke her promisses to him and is very trouble and abusive. He wanted me
to write a memorial for him. I told him I would not till the matter is
settled. He says he has as good right to fall from his word as she has.
I am Sir. your Most Humble Servant
