Will be Sold at Public Vendue,
At the Coffee.houfe, at SI X o'clock in the Evening
(If not Sold before at private Sale,)
About Twenty-four acres
of exceeding good LAND, in Paffyunk township, dis
tant between two and three miles from the Court-house,
being part of that elegant and well known place for
merly Gsned by Mr. JOHN kOUSE, situate cn the
east fide of Roufe's lane. The said 24. acres will be
divided into f or Lots, and fold feyarately :
One of them containing five acres two quarters.
One other of them, five acres, two quarters and
twelve perches.
One other of them,, five acres, three quarters ;
And the other of them, seven acres and one quarter.
And cash Let has a front upon the said lane of a
bout to perches in width. Neurone half part of each
of the laid Lots fronting the lane, consists of good up
land Meadow, and the remainder may, at a small ex
pence, be converted into Meadow, as it has been well
manured yearly for feme years past, and a great deal of
dung has been hauled on it lately. A Plan of said
Lots mar be seen at the Coffee-houfe, or at the Office
of ASHETON HUMFHREY's, in Black horse alley,
near Front street, or at the Horse es the Subferiter, in
Fomth-ftterr, between Lombard arid South-tercets,
near the New Play house; rtwhich two lafi mentioned
places any Person, who is defircus of purchasing all or
cither of the above Lots, may be made acquainted with
the terms of Sale. BENJAMIN HEMINGS.
To the PUBLI C.
OBSERVIN G, in Mr. Bradford's
Journal of the iSth instant, a NOTIFICATION,
signed JOHN WRIGHT, cautioning the Public
a ainft purchasing the LAN D (late John Roufe's)
which I have advertised for Sale, at Public Vendue, on
Tueldvy the firft day of May next, the Title of the
fame being veiled in him, as he fays, by Deed duly
executed and recorded : I think it necteffary, in justice
to myfelf, and-to prevent any doubts which may arise
refpeffiog the validity of my Title, to inform the Pub
lic of the frfts —ln the month of May, 1777, I con
trasted with Mr. Rouse for the purchase of his Estate
in Paffayunk, and entered into written articles of agree
ment with him concerning the fame, in which article
is a covenant, on the part of Mr. Rouse, to execute to
me a legal Conveyance for the fame: This Convey
ance was, accordingly, afterwards executed by him,
and was duly proved and recorded, before any Convey
ance of the Premises was ever executed by Mr. Rouse
to Mr. Wright. That a Conveyance cf Mr. Rouse to
Mr. Wright has been executed and is recorded, I have
not the kraft doubt; as to suppose otherwise would not
be doing justice to the characters of either Mr. Rouse
or Mr. Wright, who, imagining my Deed not to be re
corded in due time, are endeavouring, unjustly, to
take an advantage. For the Satisfaction of the Public,
therefore, I insert here the Book and Page where ray
Deed is recorded, viz. In Book of Mortgages, No. 1,
Page 204, &c. Any Person desirous of fatisfying
themselves may have recourse to the Record or to the
Papers, which are lodged in the bands of ASHETON
HUMPHREYS, Enquire, for infpeaion.
