Demerary, 5th June, 1810.
I the undersigned having heard various reports to my great grief, tending to accuse me of falsehood, and wishing to curb them in the bud, out of the respect every man of honour owes to himself and his reputation, hereby public offer a Reward of
Fifty Joes
to any Person or Persons who will discover and bring to conviction how and where a Note of Hand of 500 Guilders, written in the English Language and signed "N. Rousselet," has been brought into circulation.
The Signature being so well imitated the undersigned could not at the time positively swear that it was not his hand-writing, and he was therefore compelled to pay the Note with cost of Suit, - upon which he immediately requested of his Honor the Fiscaal, then at Court, to take the same and proceed therewith as he might think meet, in support of the Public good. The offender or offenders however have not been discovered by this means. Having since made the strictest examination into the transaction or the debt, I solemnly pronounce that the Signature is a Forgery, - and to enable the Public the better to trace this Note, declare that I paid the amount of it with cost of Suit to Mr. D. P. Simon, who said he received it from Mr. H. C. Evertz, who it appeared received it from Lawyer Hofstede, to whom it seems it was given or paid or delivered by the Mulatto Girl the Daughter of Peggy Hackett.
This Public Advertisement the undersigned hopes will be a strong inducement to those Gentlemen to use their sincere endeavours to trace out, if possible, the origin of this infamous transaction, and thereby remove all cause for reflections and misconstructions, which too often come to his hearing at the Court-House, as he shall not after this spare any one who may presume to cast aspersions on him, tho' such a person should be a man used to carry all before him, and therefore disposed to take the correction, as highly improper.
N. Rousselet.
