IF a certain SAMUEL KIRK be an honest mao, he will
certainly take up his Note of Hand for which he received
a certain value. My thinking his pay was good, I did not
prelent his Note for payment until a'month after it was due ;
he then told me he had been part of the way to my house in
order to take it up, but had altered his mind, and would not
pay me until obliged by law. He might have fared himself
the trouble and expence of his untimely certain adver
tisement, because 1 never intended any person should be trou
bled with his note or dilpute but myfelf. .
