his next-door neighbours., but bin poor unfortunate
creditors at Yeovil and Marteck bad to submit to hi,
obtaining goods from them without payine for them
with one band, and wit% the other pushing them into
the poeaseslon of his old friend Laver. It was
the height of absurdity to supreme that
Vine did not know at that time that
he wan insolvett. nut of all that shortly

Instead r.f Lever taking alah he wee accepting that

needle to the pole, 'bet his Rollour a nitt came but to
one conclueloei, that these dealings had been unpri.e

Hun our would say he wag entitled to the order for
