. The papers of Sir William Johnson. acts of a letter from Lieu*. Benjamin Roberts Commissaryof Indian Affairs at Michillimacinac to Guy Johnson EsquireDepy. agent for the Middle District dated [Michilimacinac], 22^, August 1767. —SR — The 21^*. of August I received Information of Rum being onthe main land opposite the Fort. I applied to the commandingOfficer for assistance to seize the Rum. the same Evening theRum was landed on the Wharf opposite the Fort Gate. Com-mandant^ ordered the Dep^. Commis^. of Provisions to takecharge of the Rum. I begged it might be put into the Kings Storeof which I kept one Key, the traders another. Cap*. Rogersrefused, saying I had no business with the Rum, — that he hadseized it, and woud dispose of it as he pleased. I told him Ilooked upon myself as the proper seizing Officer, as I had sentM^. Hansen^ to act as my Deputy, and was liable to any Prose- 1 In Canadian Archives, Indian Records, Vol. 7. 2 Major Robert Rogers, referred to as Captain Rogers below. 3 Captain John R. Hansen.. MAJOR ROBERT ROGERSFrom an old print. Indian Affairs. 1766-68 357 cution from the Claimant, if I did wrong. I begged therefore Imight have another lock for the Store, the Store the Rum wasordered into, — that I might also have one Key. this he refused, saying I was very impertinent for meddling with it. The night before this Seizure a man was confined for tryingto carry out Rum after Taptoo, and was released by the Com-mandant, and it was passed out of the Land Gate. I can prove theidentity of the Keggs. some of them were suspected to belong toSall^ Montour, or the Depy. Comsy. — the men that were con-cerned in carrying out the Rum, were in Cap*. Rogers* Service, and immediately after my procuring the Party to go off, ranaway with the only good boat belonging to the Place; but Iluckily procured a Canoe which got to the Place before them, they are yet not returned. It is clear to every one to whom theRum belongs. — I am Yours &c B: Roberts FROM R
