expedit'd he will push for the former place. Apply to

TER, Baltimore.
Whereas it is reported, that a certain John Sotten
ftall was lately poisoned, by taking too large a
dose of mucury. find it has been said, that the laid
John Sottenftali obtained the said mercury from me. The
t,uth of the matter, so far as refpeßs me, is, that be
to k half a rt ounce of salts from one of my flielfs, which
I had put up in a piece of paper, and tild him to go
and get one ounce of cream of taster, and mix them
both in molasses, and take a teafpeon full night and
morning, while he wa* drinking the diet drink he was
to fetch the next morning from me, and which I liad pre
pared for him. As for faying he got it off my fhelf, he
could make no mift^ke, as hefee it put up and laid on
the edg^ of the fhelf, where I put it, wrapped up in a
bit of paper. Now Ido swear and protest, that if he
or any body rife, fearcbed ever so long, they could have
found none in my house.
