atherwife ill treated him, and forbid all peffcns from
harbouring or trusting me on his account. I think it
needleft, in a üblir newspaper, toattempt a full vindi
cation of my condu&, and reafens for leaving him, as
a day of trial will (hortly come on, when I hope to juf
tify myfelf, and that the world will think, with me,
my reasons for quitting him were good and fuffi lent:
I shall, however, just barely mention, that bis jealou
sy of me, want of bread, kicking and treating ma ill
when drunk, turning me out of doo r s in the night,
tearing my face, a&ing in every refpeft like a crazy
man, so that his own brothers were obliged to tie him,
vetting up in the night and cutting off the cat and dog's
head, &c. &c &c. so that it became dangerous for
me and my children any longer to live with him : this,
for the present, I will le ve to the Pahic
