Having seen the Packet of the
25th of December last, in which I was adverti ed by
the brother of Ovid Hand, as a person divorced from
my Said huibaod by law and mutual consent; as like
wise, that he warned the public not to t uft 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
ferted in laid advertisement. He, his aforefaid brother
having persuaded my husband to go to sea, and during
his abfenie 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 fcandafous advertisement, on his
peril, to appear and Shew his reasons, if any he has,
for inferring so falfe and truly ingenious an untruth,
both in the light of God and to the manifaft i # jury of
the Public's humble servant,
