Province of New-Hampshire. The following Act was past the last setting of the General-Assembly, and order'd to be publish'd at large in this Paper, that all Persons may know the contents. Anno Regni Regis Georgii Tertii, Magnæ, Britanniæ, Franciæ & Hiberniæ, Undecimo. AN ACT to enable three justices of the peace (unus quorum) to determine all disputes concerning the maintainance of the poor. WHEREAS the laws of this province now in force, have not impowered any particular court to determine disputes and controversies that may arise concerning the settlement and support of the poor, and whereas it would greatly tend to the ease, and convenience of his majesty's subjects to hear and determine all such disputes as near as may be, to the place where they arise, and in a summary way, to the end the poor may not perish through want, while the parties are contending in law, about the burthen of their maintenance.
BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, by the Governor, Council, & Assembly, That all disputes that may arise, concerning the support and maintenance of any poor person, shall be heard and determined by three justices of the peace, unus quorum, who on petition being preferred to them, shall order the adverse party to be served with a copy thereof, with their order thereon appointing a proper day and place of hearing, giving eight days notice at least,—and on hearing both parties or the petitioner only, if the adverse party on Notice as aforesaid shall not appear, shall proceed to make such order thereon as shall appear just, either for the past or future maintenance of such poor person or persons, and may tax cost for either party & issue execution thereon accordingly, under the hand and seal of the said quorum justice, who shall keep all records and processes therein.
And in all cases where such order is made against any town or parish, or against the select-men of any town or parish, the execution shall issue against the select-men thereof for the time being, and their estates, and they or their successors shall assess the inhabitants of such town or parish to reimburse them, unless they shall have so much of the town or parish's money in their hands at the time such execution is served. And the said quorum justice shall be allowed six shillings per day and the other justices four shillings per day with travelling fees as in cases of taking depositions.
And in case the select-men of any town or parish, or any relation of any poor person in the ascending or descending line, shall disobey the order of any such justices concerning the future maintenance of any poor person or persons, the petitioner in such case may apply to such justices or to any other three as before mentioned by a new petition, setting forth the former order, and that the same hath not been complied with, and such justices giving notice as aforesaid to such relation or select-men of such town or parish respectively for the time being, may hear the parties thereon as aforesaid, and may order the petitioner a reimbursement of all cost, charges and damages sustained by means the first orders not being complied with, and double cost and issue execution accordingly, and so toties quoties.—And any party aggrieved at the sentence or order of such justice, may petition the justices of the superior court, any time within six months after.—such sentence or order is declared, setting
forth the original petition and order or sentence thereon, and briefly stating the evidence produced on trial; and assigning such errors as shall appear therein which petition shall be lodged in the clerks office of the superior court, and a copy thereof attested by the said clerk delivered to the adverse party or some one of them by the petitioner, or at his cost at least fourteen days before the setting of the said court for his or their appearance. And the petitioner shall produce an attested copy of the whole case.—And the justices of said superior court shall hear the parties or such of them as shall appear, on the matters and causes assigned for error, as well in fact as in law, and admit a trial by jury on proper issue joined, and shall determine the same according to law: and in case the first sentence shall be reversed, the said superior court shall award to the petitioner restitution of all costs and damages sustained thereby, and cost; otherwise the adverse party shall recover double cost and the same rules shall be observed in respect to execution awarded by the superior court as have been before mentioned.
Provided no application to the superior court shall delay or hinder the order of the said three justices, from being put in execution, until the final order of the superior court thereon.
This act to continue and be in force for the term of three years and no longer.
BOSTON, Feb. 7 1771. Capt. Parrel, arrived last Week, at New-York from Falmouth, but did not bring Prints so late as Capt. Griffe, arrived at Marblehead, by a Fournight. We find some Paragraphs that we had not by the latter: The Speech of Lord C---m was the 20th of November, and published in detached Parts, but collected together in one in December, with additions: It cannot but be observed that one Part was omitted in the Speech published here, being a very unpopular one, it is as follows, viz.
"I am concerned, that in these times, when unanimity is so much wanted, than any doubts should have been thrown out respecting the legality of impressing; a measure which has the sanction of the common law. I consider the three Aldermen as particides of their country, and would be the first to move for an enquiry into their conduct."
It is said Lord Chatham's Speech in Favour of Press Warrants will be likely to introduce him into Power. Enquiry has been made whether there was no Reply to Lord C---m; we can at present find only the following:
In answer to the sentiments of this great patriot, another orator, well known under the title of a remarkable impeaching character in the Beggar's Opera, remarked "That tho' he never remembered to have heard the noble Earl's sentiments coincide so nearly with him in some points, as they did on the present occasion; yet he could not help considering his assertions in general to be mere ipse dixits, or matters of opinion; for," continued he, "We have been told this day, that the present administration is a very unpopular one; that the people are quite dissatisfied; that we are not in a situation to defend ourselves from foreign attacks; nay, that we have not even twelve ships of the line ready for service. Now, as I have not the honor to be of the administration, I cannot speak precisely as to the truth of these declarations; but I have a right to give my opinion as well as the noble Earl; and my opinion is, we are in a situation to defend ourselves against all our enemies; that the present administration is not an unpopular one; and that the people are not dissatisfied. I think the present opposition are ten thousand times more unpopular. I see it every day—I see it in the last Westminster remonstrance—I see it in the common council—I see it in every part of the kingdom—In short it is nothing but remonstrance, instructions, and impeachment, or, in other words, it is all Wilkes and Edridge, noise, nonsense, and confusion."
On Tuesday there was a very long Debate on the ex officio power of the Attorney-General, in regard to filing informations, the principal Speakers were Mr. Dunning, Mr. Edmund Burke, to which Mr. De Grey, replied. [The Debates are too long for Publication at this Time.]
LONDON, Nov. 29. WE hear that when the House of Commons have gone through some Matters relative to Massachusetts-Bay, which are likely to be finished in a few Days, both Houses will adjourn next Week for the Holidays.
Sir William Draper arrived in London from New-York the 26th of November. The 28th 40,000 Seamen were voted for 1771. 30,000 to be registered: The expense for one year will be two millions; at 4l. per month.—Insurances to the West-Indies was advanced at Lloyd's Coffee-house from 4 to 10 per cent. Policies have been opened at the Coffee-houses, to give 9 guineas to return 100 if war is not declared in 7 days; and 40 to receive 100 if declared before the 31st of December. One
gentleman gave a merchant 100 guineas to receive a guinea a day till war is declared. The payment to expire if war is not declared in a year and half.
The Press continues very hot. It is said a great Personage coincides in opinion with a noble Earl, that the Spaniards are certainly preparing to strike a capital blow in the West, and the French in the East Indies. It is said a certain ambassador has assured the M---y that no attack has been made by the King his Master's sea or land forces, either upon Gibraltar or Jamaica.
The Grenadiers of France, consisting of 40 Battalions, are filing off towards Brittany.
The Envoy from the States General at the Court of Madrid, sends advice, that 15 Battalions of Spanish Troops were marching to the sea-coast to embark for America, which were to be followed by a much greater number, to reinforce the garrisons that are most exposed. It is said the Court of Spain consents to the evacuation and the neutrality of Falkland Islands; but refuses to make restitution of them. Spain by no means combines this affair with that of the Manila ransom.
The state Lottery began drawing in November: On the 15th December the Price of Tickets arose to 21l. 10s. One of the high Prizes drawn, viz. 20,000l. was the property of Capt. Towry, of Illeworth.
Messieurs FOWLES, The following POEM was sent me by a Friend; perhaps it is my fondness for him that makes me think it worth a Place in your useful Paper; Your inserting it in your next, will much oblige your Customer. VERAX. Province of Main, Feb. 8.
On reading the late SPEECH of the Earl of CHATHAM.
FIRM as the Isle whereon he stands, Deep as the Seas that it commands His Soul; wide as extreams of Day, Calm as the Night in smiling May: Awhile from Toil great PITTS removes, No more to guide the State he loves. With Pain he sees his Country's wrong, And scorns the sordid flattering Throng, That round the Throne for Places creep, And lull, betray'd, their King to sleep. The rotten Pillars of the State, Cannot support the tot'ring Weight, With fauning Lies they please the Crown, While Treach'ry undermines the Throne. Like Phaeton they'd guide the Sun, But e'er the Day is well begun, They tumble headlong from the Sky, And Nations in their Ruin die. Behold our Land an easy Prey, To Bourbon House, or Papal See, Our Fleets are Wrecks, our Armies lost, While Sons of Spain despoil our Coasts. Intestine Broils the Nation fills, And Britons brave their Brothers kill. Ah! wretched Soldier turn thy Hand, And slay the Traitors of the Land. Lov'd Liberty! in Iron chain'd; With native Gore our Streets are stann'd. Elective Freedom's from us fled, And Property defenceless laid. The lawless Tyrants forge a Chain; And Freemen blind for cursed Gain. The golden Chain of Commerce broke; While Plenty sinks beneath the Stroke. But like the Sun (see PITTS arise!) To light and clear the darkened Skies: Where half Years Night has hid the Day, Or like the Cloud in Israel's Way, And Phineas like, the Plague to Stay. His Eloquence Attention brings, While dang'rous Truths awakes the King. With England's Honor at his Heart, He smiles with Truth's well pointed Dart, The Traytors, that have overthrown, Great Briton's Honor with its Crown. Drag out my Lords, the Hero cries, Those trait'rous Statesmen in their Lies. What secrecy has England's Weal, While dying Pangs the Nation feels. So when the Earth has parching lain, And lying Clouds have promis'd Rain: The brazen Sky destroy'd the Crop, And scorching spoil'd the Labourers Hope. Pale Famine spread the hungry Land, To Powder turn'd the blazing Sand: In piteous Moan the People cry'd, And all their Hopes of Comforts dy'd. When lo! in western Hemisphere, A pregnant Cloud at length appears; And thundering in its mid Air-Road, Diffuses Life in Showers abroad. The Shepherds lift their chearful Heads, And see the Verdure on the Meads. The murmuring Brook in pleasing Strain, Sings thro' the Vales and Meads again. The People bless the mighty Power, That thundering sends the needed Show'r, But those vile Men who made it Gain, To purchase Drought instead of Rain; With conscious Guilt the Thunder hear, And Lightning wrap them in Despair. God save the KING, preserve his Friend; And bring those Traitors to their End.

Dec. 4. Damages to the amount of 100,000l. are computed between Shrewsbury and Worcester, by the late flood. A very heavy snow fell about 25th November, whereby a great number of sheep and hogs were lost, and the poor suffered considerably at Richmond in Yorkshire. Great Damage has been sustained in France and Italy by the late inundations.
It is very currently reported, that his Grace the Duke of Bedford has caused it to be signified to all his tenants who suffered by the late great floods on his estates, that he forgives all rents now due by them to his Grace, and has ordered a considerable sum of money to be distributed among his poorer tenants, who have suffered by the said floods.
The audience at Mr. Foot's Theatre at Edinburgh, calling out repeatedly for the Minor , and not acquiescing to the first excuse, Mr. Foote himself made his appearance, and in Latin intimated to the house, that the principal subject of ridicule having paid nature's great debt, he humbly submitted to their reflection, whether such an exhibition would be seemly.
Among the six malefactors executed at Tyburn on the 14th of December, was the unhappy Man convicted of Beastiality with a she-Ass: He chiefly excited the attention of the populace: He shewed great marks of sincere repentance, and wept bitterly; yet numberless uttered execrations at the gallows against him. He had a Wife and one Child and esteemed among his Neighbours as a very sober Man.
The Committee of Council of the City of London, Resolved and ordered, the Sum of 40s. for every able Seaman, and 20s. for every ordinary Seaman, who shall enter at Guild-hall, into the Service of his Majesty's Navy, over and above the Bounty granted by his Majesty's. The town of Hull, give a Bounty of three pounds over and above his Majesty's Bounty to every able bodied Seamen that shall enter. Great-Numbers have entered on these Encouragements.---428 in one month at Guild-hall.
An Advertisement is published in the Dublin Gazette, giving Notice that by a most extraordinary and unexpected demand for money at the Bank of Sir George Colebrook and Com. the cash of said Bank has been so far exhausted, as to make it necessary to forbear payments in ready money for a few days. The Proprietors request the Creditors not to be impatient or uneasy as they will pay all notes under 30l. before Christmas, and have no doubt of being able to pay the other in a short time after.
It being apprehended that there might be a diffidence in the other Banks at Dublin, the Lord Lieut. the Nobility, Gentry, principal Merchants, and Traders of that City, being sensible of the secure foundations of the houses of Messrs. David La Touche & Sons, Messrs. William Glendowe and Co. Messrs. Thomas Fidley and Co. and Messrs. John Dawson, Coates and Patrick Ludlow, have advertised that they will continue to take the Notes of the said Houses as cash, in all payments made to them.
Dec. 15. Arrived at Dover, Betty, Waters, from Boston. The Cæsar, Kingsbury, of Glasgow, bound from New-castle, to North-Carolina, is totally lost on the Coast of Kent.
Lord Chatham, in a certain place, having asserted, that the monied interest of the city of London were blood suckers, the muck-worms of the constitution; that all their aim was to get loans and commissary ships; but that at the same time he regarded the middling citizens, who preferred laws and liberty to loans and contracts--- The Duke of Richmond observed, on what Lord Chatham had said, that he joined him hand and heart, on the violated right of election, and all other great constitutional points; that his conscience obliged him to it, knowing the rectitude of Lord Chatham's intentions; but that his conscience would not suffer him to be silent at the indiscriminate censure which the noble Lord, in the warmth of debate, had thrown on some of the worthiest men in this kingdom.--- If, by the monied interest, says he, the noble Lord means those adulating wretches, those miserable aldermen, who opposed petitions and remonstrances, merely to gain loans and contracts for themselves, who bartered their laws and liberties for gold, I do most heartily concur with him; but I must, at the same time, assert, that there is a majority of the monied interests of very different principles. One instance will be sufficient: the late Lord Mayor, who is one of the first merchants, and one of the honestest men in the kingdom; a man who opposed government in their invasion of our laws, and who supported government by backing press-warrants, when he perceived his country was in danger. I concur with my noble friend in his merited commendation on those who prefer liberty to gold. The common-councilmen of London I respect for their firmness; and for their honor and integrity, I shall ever revere and honor them.
We can from undoubted authority assure the publick, that at a Council held Yesterday, War was determined on.
A few days since, Lord Weymouth told the Spanish ambassador, that if he did not give in a satisfactory answer before the end of this week, he should be asked no more questions, but that immediate recourse would be had to the ultima ratio regum .
Yesterday 40,000 seamen were voted for the service of the year 1771, 30,000 of which to be registered. The expence for one year will be two millions.
This day the insurance of merchant ships outward bound to the West-Indies, was advanced at Lloyd's, from 4 to 10 per ct.
War is now ardently desired by all real lovers of their country of every rank, as it will inevitably have one good effect, which nothing else is so likely to produce, viz. The downfall of the present slothful and dastardly administration.
Dec. 1. The account of our ships being stopt in Spain is confirmed by a letter sent from Cadiz to a merchant in Lime-street, which brings advice that all the English ships in that port have been stopt. And that Capt. Cheesman, of the True Briton, arrived at Pool from Cadiz, confirms the same; and adds, that the Spaniards are pulling down all the houses near the front of the Mole, where they are very assiduous in erecting batteries, and fortifying the place.
Col. Barru, in an interesting debate on Thursday, said that he recollected to have formerly read an anecdote in which a patriot nobleman told the Spanish Monarch, that they had but two enemies. "Who are they?" said the King; "the World is one, (replied the honest informer) and your Majesty's Minister the other." And I cannot help thinking, continued the Colonel, that our good King (God bless him!) is somewhat in the same situation.---This humorous remark caused an universal uproar of applause; and the Colonel was sometime before he could proceed in his argument.
We are well informed, that Lord Weymouth, was for raising 50,000 seamen for the ensuing year, but the Premier assured him, that 40,000 would sufficiently answer the purpose.
Extract of a letter from the Hague, Nov. 23.
"The Envoy extraordinary from the States-General at the court of Madrid, among other things in his last dispatches, sends advice that 15 battalions of Spanish troops were marching to the sea coast in order to embark for America, to reinforce the garrison there that are most exposed; and that these troops were followed by a much greater number."
Upwards of fifty merchant ships are now waiting in the river outward bound, to receive letters of mark, in case of war being declared, having on board guns and men sufficient both for offence and defence.
The East-India Company have raised the seamen's wages from 25s. to 45s. per month, hands being very scarce at present on account of such numbers being impressed.
Extract of a Letter from Liverpool, November 16. "On the 7th instant several outward-bound vessels sailed from this port; the wind being fair, and with them a pilot-boat which as usual; collected the pilots, and any other person not going the voyage, from each ship when clear of the banks; these in all amounted to 24. By this time the wind blew strong, and was against the pilot boat now returning. In the evening the boat struck upon Hoyle Bank, where the soon filled with water; this boat is always surrounded with deep water. In the large boat was a small one about 12 feet long; into this they all got, and she immediately sunk; after which they next attempted to get to the opposite side of the bank, in hopes of being heard by some boat or vessel, but in this they were prevented by an impassable gut or swash in the bank; on finding this difficulty eight of them returned to the small boat, which before was sunk, and after emptying and dragging it across the bank with inexhaustible difficulty to the sea side, they got into her, where five of the eight expired through cold and fatigue; all those left on the bank, which was covered with the flood tide, were drowned. By this melancholy accident were lost nine licensed pilots, with two of their apprentices, and ten others were drowned or died."
CHARLESTOWN, (South-Carolina) Dec. 25.
At one o'clock this day, the town was alarmed with the cry of fire, which proved to be in a wooden building belonging to Mr. John Champneys, on his wharf, near to the New-Exchange occupied by Mr. Jonathan Clarke and son, Mr. John Marley, (where he kept his compting-room) and a shoemaker and his family, which in a short time consumed the same, with all the gold and silver work in Mr. Clarke's shop, and the shop, goods, liquors, and books of accounts of his son's, as also Mr. Marley's books of accounts: The flames communicating from this building to the range of stores on the opposite side, also belonging to Mr. Champneys, soon consumed Messrs. George and John Blake's coopers shop, the shop of Mr. Joseph Turpin, jun. and a shoemaker's shop. The stores of Messrs. Hugh Swinton, William Sykes, John Cogdell and George Kincaid, as also his coopers shop, being adjoining to the last mentioned buildings, likewise took fire, and were entirely consumed, together with great quantities of all kinds of goods, liquors, &c. so that of those two ranges of buildings, none were saved but Mr. Tebout's blacksmith shop, Mr. Robinson's block-maker shop, and Mr. Loockock's store. The long range of stores on the opposite side, belonging to Colonel Beale were also consumed, and Messrs. Daniel and Isaac Bourdeaux, as well as Capt. Blewer, suffered greatly thereby, not having time to remove their effects. The corner store in the possession of Mr. Fenwicke Bull, on Colonel Beale's wharf, fronting Elliot-street and the Bay also took fire which, with the rest of that range, were entirely consumed, together with a large quantity of goods, liquors, &c. and at Mr. Nathaniel Russell's store the flames were happily subdued, through the vigilance of the inhabitants, and the engines being well supplied with water. The wind being due north, was a most favourable circumstance to the town, as it drove the flames clear of the buildings on the Bay. The damage sustained by this fire, it is imagined, will amount to three thousand pounds sterling. A Schooner belonging to Mr. Kirk, being a ground in Col. Beale's dock, had her rigging burnt, and received some other damage. The Lower-Market house was cut down, it being apprehended that the flames would have reached so far.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.
We hear that the Premium of Ten Pounds for the greatest Quantity of found Cocoons, above Twenty Thousand, raised within one Family, and brought to the Filature in this City for the last Year, was adjudged by the Managers to Johanna Etwin, of Bethlehem.
On Saturday, the 12th Instant, one Thomson was committed to the Goal of this City, for feloniously entering the House of Mr. Ludwick Kuhn, at Kensington, the Night before, with Intent to rob him; the Fact is related as follows, Mr. Kuhn waking in the Night, heard some Noise in the Room, which he imagined to be the Servant attending the Children with something they wanted, but presently feeling somebody reaching for his Wife's Pockets, where his Keys were, he jumped up, and seized hold of Thomson's Hair, who, being a very strong Fellow drew him out of Bed, when a Scuffle ensued; and Thomson threatened to rip him open, if he did not let him go; but Mr. Kuhn, thinking his Life in Danger, made an obstinate Resistance, and at Length over-powered him and secured him; and when a Light was brought, a Knife was found laying on the Floor, near the Bed-side, with which, it is supposed, he intended to have put his Threats in Execution.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 31.
We hear that when Capt. Farrel left Falmouth, (Dec. 7.) 4 Packets were lying there ready to sail, supposed to be detained that the Declaration of War might be sent out by them.---One of these was the Packet for New-York, which was expected to sail in three or four days. A Vessel was arrived there from Cadiz in 16 days, the Master of which reported, that he came away by stealth, the English vessels in that harbour being detained, and a Declaration of War there was every day expected. Private letters by Capt. Farrel of the 5th of December, mention, War as inevitable. From the public papers, the probability seem, rather to preponderate for War than Peace, and yet there are so many contradictory circumstances that no certain conclusion can be drawn.---notwithstanding the bustle of preparations, the Ministry and their party seem neither well prepared, nor heartily disposed for War; and they carry every question as they please, in both Houses, by a Majority of Votes. The Speeches of Lord Chatham, Colonel Barru, Mr. Burke, Mr. Dowdeswell, &c. were extremely severe against the Ministry, who in turn retorted with spirit & keenness, but made no tolerable figure in point of argument.
A writer in a late English Paper says,---"I am just returned from Portsmouth, and can assure the public, that no part of the small stores consumed, in the late fire, has been yet replaced. There is not in Portsmouth bedding sufficient for two ships of the line; the five men of war ordered in a prodigious hurry, three weeks ago, to carry 2 regiments to Gibraltar, and which were then said to be compleatly equipped are not yet ready. The ministry may go on for some time amusing the nation; but in
the end, they will find that they have deceived themselves.--- The day of reckoning will assuredly come; and if, while we are in this shameful state of inactivity, the enemy should strike any material stroke, the heads of some people will answer for it. In the mean time, I hope the King (to whose person and family I am warmly attached) will consider what it will be his own situation, if Gibraltar should be taken;---and I will venture to tell his Majesty plainly from my own knowledge, that, if the Enemy should land there in force (which nothing can prevent but a superior fleet) the place would be taken in a fortnight."
Saturday last ended the Supreme Court of this Province, when three Persons found guilty of a Riot, were sentenced to receive thirty-nine Lashes at the Publick Whipping Post.
B O S T O N, Feb. 11.
An extraordinary fat Sheep was bro't a few Days ago to this Market: The four Quarters weighed in the whole 120 lb. which sold for 5s- old Tenor per Pound, and amounted to £3 6 exclusive of the Skin, Head, &c.

P O R T S M O U T H, Feb. 15.
Last Saturday a Schooner belonging to this Town, laden with Corn, &c. from Cape-Ann, was cast ashore just below Fort-Point, the Cargo mostly Saved, the Schooner 'tis tho' will be got off but considerably Damaged.---We hear of four or five coasting Vessels being cast away between this and Casco-Bay, in the storm on Saturday last, likewise of several lives being lost.
Last Wednesday one Mrs. Barton, of New-Castle aged about 80 Years was found Dead in the Fire, her Face and one Arm was burnt to Ashes, she was left by the Family setting in a Chair about half an Hour before.---

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.
THE PRINTERS.
Printing-Office, Portsmouth, Feb. 1st, 1771:
(March Court.)
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.
