hereby acknowledge and confefs that, contrary to the
principles es honesty and truth, I did endeavour to
hjirc the character of Jacob Phillips, Esq. High-
Sheriff of the county of Burlington, by falfely and
unjustly reporting that the said Jacob Phillips, Esq.
had demanded and taken from me more fees than
allowed by law : —For which report and misrepre
sentation, in this publick manner, I do beg his par
don and am fully convinced of the justness and
uprightness of his behaviour to me at all times, and
the bafentfs of my own intentions. In testimony
of which, I publish this in the publick Ncw-Jerfey
