promised to pay me the day after our arrival in N.Y. I stayed at the same hotell with him that night. I thought I had him all right and would get my money he said at 1 pm next day. At 10 am he told me to remain till he would come back from Wall St where he was going to borrow the amount £120.50 on his jewels etc to pay me so as to pay for the brig I bought to come to New Zealand
