WILLIAM DREWET SMIfH,
CHYMIST AND DRUGGIST,
At Hippocrates's Head, in Second -street, between
Market and Chefhut-ftreets, has just imported in
the Mary and Elizabeth, Capt. Falconer, from
London,
A LARGE assortment of Drugs, patent Medi
'l cines, &c. which he will fell for cam or the
usual credit, very reasonable.
WHEREAS I the fubferiber purchased
a MARE of a certain Armstrong
Porter, horse-jockey, of Lancaster county, which
mare the said Porter engaged to be found, only se
ven years old, and an excellent breeder ; quite the
reverse of which I find to be her character, She be
ing disordered with the ringborn, is not less than
fourteen years old, and is well known to have been
barren all her days: For said mare I gave him my
note of hand for Thirty Pounds, payable the firft
of the eighth month next: These are to forwarn all
perlons from taking ah assignment on said note, as
I am determined not to pay the fame unless com
pelled thereto by due course of law.
WILLIAM COALE, Jun.
WH EREASI the subscriber purchased
a HORSE of a certain Robert Max
well, horse-jockey, of Lancaster county, which
horse the said Maxwell engaged to be found, and
only five years old, which I since find he falfly af
firmed in order to deceive and defraud the unfuf
pe&ing honest, the horse being only pampered up
to serve the purposes of villainy, whilst at the fame
time he was much disordered, tho' not easily per
ceived by an unfkilful difeerner, and also consider
ably older than he affirmed him to be. For said
herfe I gave him my note of hand, payable in June
next: These are therefore to forwarn all persons
from taking an assignment on said note, as I am
determined not to pay the fame unless compelled
thereto by due course of law.
WILLIAM HOPKINS, Jun.
N. B. The above-mentioned men being, as we
understand, in co-partnership in horse-dealing, they
also fold a mare in our neighbourhood for eight
years old, which proves to be not less than fifteen :
As by the mouths of said creatures they appear to
be nearly of the age they fold them for, it is highly
probable they make use of some art by burning
their teeth, whereby they impose upon those not
aware of such villainy.
