Memo, from H Jackson relative to Carrico when Nelson and
Cartwright applied for a process J. went down to Hunters to see Carrico
and Allen and try and compromise—Allen agreed that they were
liable for the things lost but contended that they ought only to pay
the Orleans price—and finally the parties went on board the Mary
to receive as much property as would secure N. and C. leaving it for
future determination at what price the lost property should be rated
at but when they reached the mary C. and A. told them that if they
got any thing it must be by law and refused to come to any settle-
ment—afterwards they agreed to pay for the Goods at the Orleans
price.—The Mary was aground on red fish bar when she was
attached and was got off by the assistance of the Constable and guard
and run on by Carrico in trying to bring her into the San Jacinto—
the Alcalde demanded before tryal wheither they had any objection
to any of the Jury and furnished them with a list, and stated that if
they had any objection others would be summoned on the morning
of the tryal they agreed that they were liable for the property lost
but only differd as to the price, so that the only thing for the Jury
to decide was the price of the property.
