" In his second letter he says, "To the Honorable Court of
Directors I will submit all my rights in the salt contracts I engaged
in; and if in their opinion those rights vest in the Company, I will
account to them for the last shilling I have received from such
contracts, my intentions being upright; and as I never did wish to
profit myself to the prejudice of my employers, by their judgment I will
be implicitly directed."
The majority of the board desired that Kaworke's petition should be
transmitted to England by the ship then under dispatch; and it was
accordingly sent with Mr. Barwell's replies. Mr. Barwell moved that a
committee should be appointed to take into consideration what he had to
offer on the subject of Kaworke's petition; and a committee was
accordingly appointed, consisting of all the members of the Council
except the Governor-General.
The committee opened their proceedings with reading a second petition
from Kaworke, containing corrected accounts of cash said to be forcibly
taken, and of the extraordinary and unwarrantable profits taken or
received from him by Richard Barwell, Esquire; all which are inserted at
large in the Appendix.
