    EXHIBIT
    OF
    LOCKING OPPRESSION AND INJUSTICE
    SUFFERED FOR SIXTEEN MONTHS
    BY
    JOHN RANDEL, JUN. ESQ.
    CONTRACTOR FOR THE EASTERN SECTION
    OF
    THE CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE CANAL,
    FROM
    JUDGE WRIGHT, Engineer in Chief,
    AND THE
    MAJORITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
    (Among other things by the gross and palpable violation of the contract, in the iniquitous reduction of the prices which were fixed when that instrument was signed, sealed and delivered.)

    WHEREBY

    The Contractor has been ruined; the completion of that great national work will be delayed one year at least; and the interests of the state and of the stockholders of course materially injured.

    “Fiat justitia--ruat cælum.

    “Bodies of men, upright and pure in private life, frequently perpetrate without scruple in their collective capacity, acts of which individually they would abhor to be guilty.”--Anon.

    BY THE AUTHOR OF AN APPEAL TO THE STOCKHOLDERS.

    PHILADELPHIA.
