Having seen the Packet of the
25th of December lad, in which I was advertised by
the brother of Ovid Hand, as a person divorced f r om
my said husband by law and mutual consent ; as like
wise, that he warned the public not to trust me on his
account. This is therefore to acquaint the candid
public, that there never was a division of estate or
property, or divorce, as is falfely and maliciously in
serted in (aid advertisement. He, his aforefaid brother,
having persuaded roy husband to go to sea, and during
his abfen e took possession of our estate, and drove the
fubferiber, after beating me in a most inhuman man
ner, from my property, and I am now fuffering the
most keen distress. This is therefore to desire the in
serter of that falfe and scandalous advertisement, on his
peril, to appear' and (hew his reasons, if any he has,
for inserting so falfe and truly ingenious an'untruth,
