As to what you say on the particular Case oi Kayadarosseras,Ih.iive been already applied to by the Pattentees, and have in consequence thereof endeavored to effect an accommodation between them, and the Indians by the formers relinquishing their Claim to a part of the Tract, but there are so many Claimants under the Origi Grant that it will be difficult if not impossible to get a Suffic' Release w^i \\o^ bar all future pretensions, & therefore were the Inds. heartily disposed to such Terms, an Imposition of that nature, (an Instance of which has lately been experienced) wo<^. not only destroy their opinion of the Officers of tlie Crown, but be productive of very dangerous consequence, the Whole Confederacy having interested themselves warmly in it.

Particular Instances can be given of Frauds, & Misconduct of Traders, but should they come to posts without having given Security, or if there is any reason to apprehend they would be acquitted, it is better to let them alone, -- this I have Experienced, & am certain of it that in matters regarding the Ind^. who are incapable of allowing for the prejudice of a party, or the Nicetys of the Common Law, should the accusation be reasonable, & yet thro' some defect in the Laws, or other reason redress is not obtained, it were better never to Attempt it -- The want of power in the Laws which were not framed with an Eye to the peculiar compact between the Ind^. & us, has been admitted by sev^. Gentlemen learned in that profession, & the necessity there is for making a particular provision in these Cases has been pointed out.
