1058. Nathaniel White to his father. "I am astonished at the condition in which your Country has been allowed to remain with regard to the collection of debts. The Commissioners have been acting on the late wise law in this Country for 3 or 4 months past & so great has been the thronging to it that they have never been able to compleat their business within their legal terms, which is two days." They had nearly two hundred causes on their first docket, more than 200 on their second & so on in almost geometrical proportions until God knows where they will stop. The suitors are very much dissatisfied with the Court & their very summary mode of proceeding, but necessity induces them to resort to it. There is not a doubt but that in civil cases the power is altogether taken from the magistrates & perfectly null & expose them to a prosecution for trespass. In penal cases, however, the remedy is still the same as it was & the magistrates alone have jurisdiction ... The next assembly will, I amagine, bring things back to their old standing again." Holograph

1062. Nathaniel White to his brother Cornelius, on various topics. Family matters. "Your ideas & practics as to society are, I must acknowledge, precisely mine four years since, but take my word for it & I speak from experience, they are very erroneous & uncomfortable. You have a very good opportunity of getting into society & the best society too & I sincerely hope you will improve it. The Almons, I am sure, will pay you every attention if you will allow them, & you have no idea of the importance to a young man of mixing in good society. I have been fortunate enough to be thrown into it & would not part with the advantages I have received from it for the fattest fortune in Nova Scotia. Mrs. Johnston writes me constantly on this subject. She says you are perfectly incorrigible." He asks him to send a fashionable surtout, either blue or brown. Holograph.
