WHEREAS I, the fubferiber, did, some time in De
cember, 1774, contrast with a certain Robert Burge for
a tra& of land, situate in Barre township and county of Bedford,
for which I entered into four separate bonds, payable in four
annual payments, viz. the firft to be paid on the firft day of May,
1775, the second on the firft of May, 1776, &c. the firft of
which bonds I have already paid ; and whereas the said Burge
cannot make a fufficient title to said land, this is to forewarn all
persons not to take any assignment on either of said remaining
bonds, as I am determined not to pay either of them, until the
said Burge complies with his contract.
