WHEREAS a NEW EDITION of the PROVINCE LAWS have been ordered by the Government to be publish'd; and a certain Number to be printed, which we suppose will not be sufficient for supplying every particular Person, who may be desirous of having a LAW BOOK.--These are therefore to give Notice to all such Persons, that if they will now Subscribe and pay Twelve Shillings , they shall have a Book at the same price of the Government.
Those who neglect giving in their Names and paying their Part at the Time of Subscribing, will not only run the risque of not having a set, as very few will be printed, exclusive of what the Court and others take off, but also have a quarter part more to pay for those few, than Subscribers.

A PETITION having been presented to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY, by Committees of MASON's Propriety, and the Towns of Barstead and Chichester, setting forth, that the Township of Barstead, joins on Canterbury, Chichester, Barrington, Gilmantown, and Land belonging to said Mason's Propriety, that the Bounds of said Barstead and the other Townships of Lands, are uncertain and disputable in some Places, and therefore praying that a Committee of suitable Persons may be appointed to run and ascertain said Bounds, who shall make return to the General Assembly, which Return being allow'd, an Act may be passed to establish the same, in order to prevent Suits at Law.--These are therefore to notify all concern'd, that a Hearing is granted on said Petition, on the third Day of the sitting of the General Assembly, after the first Day of March next, for any Person or Persons to appear and shew cause why the Prayer thereof may not be granted.

Whereas the agents for the Proprietors of Plimouth in said Province, have petitioned the General Assembly, setting forth, that the corner Boundary of four Townships, v z. Plimouth, Campton, Rumney, and Cockermouth, depends on a certain Point or End of a Line, nineteen Miles in length upon a certain Point of Compass, from a certain Tree on Connecticut River, That the several Parties have at their own private Cost, made several Surveys, but do not agree in length of Line or Point of Compass, which throws the said Towns into uncertainty, concerning their Boundaries. The Petitioners have therefore pray'd a Committee may be appointed to Survey the said nineteen Miles to establish the said corner Boundary. It is Order'd that the Petitioners be heard on said Petition the Fourth Day of the sitting of the General Assembly, after the first of March next. And that the Petitioners cause the Substance of this Petition and Order of Court, to be publish'd in the New Hampshire Gazette six Weeks, that any person or persons may shew Cause, why the Prayer thereof should not be granted.

PHILADELPHIA, January 17.
Copy of a Letter from Cadiz, Nov. 6, 1770.
I TAKE the Liberty to inform you, as acting Consul for his Majesty here, and being largely employed as a Factor for many of his Majesty's Subjects concerned in the Trade of the Colony which you perside over, that there is for the present the strongest Appearance of a Rupture betwixt the Courts of Great Britain and Spain, which may be a Means of many Vessels arriving from his Majesty's Plantations in North-America, in the different Ports of this Kingdom, after a War may be declared, and consequently being made Prizes of; I have taken every Precaution which occurred to me, -- towards preventing such Vessels as may be on their Way, from coming into this Port, or others in Spain, should a Rupture actually happen; and I give you this Notice, that you may make such Use of it as your Prudence may suggest, towards preventing other Vessels being dispatched to these Parts, until after Accounts are received of these Clouds being dissipated, which I sincerely wish they may be favourably and soon, so as to enable his Majesty's trading Subjects this Way, to pursue & reassume their Trade with Security and Safety. I have the Honor to be, S I R, Your most obedient, and most humble Servant, JAMES DUFF. To the Hon. JOHN PENN, Esq;

Robinhood Society, by L-d G. G-----, and seconded by L-d G. G-----, the purport of which was, To desire the Room to order the eldest sons of P-----rs, the A-----y and S-----r G-----l, and the M-----rs in C-----y, to attend the door of the Room every day at two o'clock, to carry such bills as may be ready to the Upper Room, all other persons being excluded admission by a resolution of the Upper Assembly. Upon the division, there appeared for the question 39, against it 104.
L-d G. C----- then moved, That no P-----r should be admitted into that Room; but Mr. G. O-----v moving, That the order of the day might be read, the question was put thereupon; when there appeared for Mr. O-----v's motion 103, against it 38. This is the second time L-d G. C-----v's motion for excluding the P-----rs have been defeated by Mr. O-----v's moving that the order of the day might be read.
L-d J. G-----v and Sir G. S-----v both declared on Friday in the lower Room, that they would not go up to the other Room with any bills, even though they might relate to the county and soon they had the honor to r-pr-in.
Never was the money affairs of Ireland in such an alarming state as at present. One merchant in Dublin has failed for a hundred and twenty thousand pounds, another for sixty thousand, and two or three others for thirty, twenty and sixteen thousand each; at the same time that the circulating cash of the kingdom, is not supposed to be above two hundred and fifty thousand pounds, if so much.
Ireland, we see, is become distressed for want of gold and silver in circulation. A few literary productions has shown Englishmen, that they probably may very soon experience the same calamity.---What must follow is coming to pass?
Sir G-----v S-----v, upon a complaint of there not being men sufficient to carry on the war, assured a respectable Assembly a few days since, that he could raise immediately 4000 able fellows on his own estates, and the parts adjacent to them in Scotland, and that he did not doubt, but 40,000 soldiers might be insisted in the space of a few weeks.

Extract of a letter from London, Nov. 9. "We are fluctuating between Peace and War, our Ministers know not which.

Confess and pay.
Province of New-Hampshire. The following Act was past the present Session of the General-Assembly of this Province, and ordered to be printed at large in this Paper, that the contents of it may be the sooner known. Anno Regni Regis Georgii Tertii, Magnæ Britaniæ, Franciæ & Hiberniæ, Undecimo. AN ACT for the more speedy recovery of small Debts, and to save the cost usually attending the recovery thereof, in the usual course of the law; and to secure the returns of execution, serv'd on real estates.
WHEREAS the common and ordinary method, of recovering small debts, by actions triable by justices of the peace, and appeals afterwards sustained by the Inferior Court thereon, often increases the cost beyond the debt, and prove very burdensome to poor debtors.
For prevention whereof, BE IT ENACTED, by the GOVERNOR, COUNCIL, and ASSEMBLY, That any person or persons, who shall voluntarily and without any undue influence, personally appear, before any justice of the peace, for said province, and confess, that he, she or they, do justly owe, and stand indebted to any other person or persons, in any sum not exceeding five pounds, and that such person or persons, consent that a record thereof should be made, and execution be issued immediately, or suspended for such time, as shall be agreed by the parties, debtor and creditor; the justice is hereby directed and authorized, to enter and make a record of such confession and agreement, and to order the party so confessing, to sign the same; and the justice shall issue an execution in favour of the creditor, agreeable to such record; and if such confession, shall be made after legal process shall be issued and return'd for trial, the justice shall tax the legal cost for the creditor, so far, and issue the execution for the same, with the sum so acknowledged to be due. And the evidence of the demand shall be cancelled, by the said record, and the justice is directed to express in his record, the grounds of the demand, and shall write on the evidence of the demand that judgement was given by him, at such time, by confession of the debtor for that demand.
And be it further enacted, that such execution may be served on the debtors person or estate, real or personal, in the same manner as executions issued by a ward of the inferior or superior courts, which shall also be duly return'd, and the return enter'd under the judgement on which it was issued.
And it is further enacted, that all executions that shall be served and satisfied by being levied on any real estate, shall be recorded in the clerk's office, as is already provided by law, and by the justice of the peace when issued by him, as aforesaid, and the plaintiff therein mentioned, shall also cause the same to be enter'd, and recorded at length with the return, in the registry or records of deeds, of conveyance of real estates, and the original execution, afterwards returned into the office from whence it issued, and copies from either shall be admitted as evidence, and have the same operation, as copies from the clerk's office have heretofore had, in any trial of the title of such estate, wherein such executions and returns shall be judged necessary and proper, provided the original is so recorded. And the fees to be received in these cases, shall be regulated by the table of fees already provided, excepting that the justices fee for taking the confession and making the record as aforesaid, shall be two shillings only, and any constable under oath, is hereby enabled, to serve any of the executions which shall be issued, in pursuance of this act, by any of his majesty's justices of the peace.
And in the form of the execution, issuable by virtue of, and agreeable to this act, the word estate, may be entered in the execution, instead of the words goods and chattles, and make any other alteration in the form of an execution, to conform to this act. This act to continue and be in force for the term of two years, and no longer.
THE Printers had fully determined to SUE a large Number of long standing delinquent Customers for this Paper, to the next Inferior Court in March, as the unreasonableness and unjust Conduct of many is too notorious, and grinds too hard on the Printers and Riders to be bore with on any Terms, much longer—Notwithstanding being very unwilling to put the said Delinquents to the great Charge which always attends suing those at a distance, and which some have foolishly of late experienced, and been convinced that when sued for Ten Dollars 40 or 50 Miles from Town, the Charges have been near as much more, which some have paid, and acknowledged they have been justly dealt by into the Bargain; instances of this can be produced. All this is very disagreeable, and we never get any more then the bare Debt, except of a few who's Consciences are not fear'd as with a hot Iron, and they pay the Interest.—But as the General Assembly of this province, have now past a Confessing Act, for the preventing Charges on small Debts; Notice is hereby given, that those delinquents, who will come and confess Judgment agreeable to said Act, immediately, the Executions shall be stay'd a reasonable Time, and those who neglect and are indebted for many Years Papers, may depend on being sued to said March Court..... And THEY ONLY are desired to take Notice of this Advertisement, and not those who make a point of paying regularly; to whom we return our Thanks, and are much obliged to them for their Custom.
