living at her death, or the personal representatives of any of them
who have since died, are by their solicitors, on or before the 12th
day ofJanuary, 1845, to come in and prove their kindred, and make

lane, London; or in default thereof, they will peremptorily be ex-
cluded the benefit of the said decree.

chant, and Jane, wife-of Captain Shaw, of a Highland regiment, in

-EDWARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully
to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO-
SITE CANDLES will ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent
Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita-
tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite,"
used by Edward Price and Co.; but the process by which the real
Composite Candles are made, being a patent one ; and E. I'. and Co.
granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the
same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their
burning, without snarling, more brilliantly than the best wax, and
their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper,
taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of
them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of
most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and
are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel-
mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.
