that I the fubferiber am in poss ffion thereof, by vir
tue of a Lease from under the hand and seal cf Do&or
Samoa! Kennedy, deccafed, which will not expire un

tle rill that period : but as the said Sarah Kennedy has,
since her husband's decease, in a base and clandeftins
m,nn*r got pofi, ffion of the aforefaid lease, file vainly
imagin s that the can get possession of the premises ac
her pleasure, although I can prove by a number ofre
putabl^ gentlemen that it does not expire until the time
above mentioned. SAMUEL CULBERTSON.
