BRANDY AND CAPSULES.— Mr. Betts (the late
firm of J. T. Betts and Co.), Patent Brandy Distiller, 7,
Smithfield-bars, feels it due to and the public to state
that the manufacture of the Patent Brandy was not, nor
ever has been, known to any person except to himself and
one of his sons; and that he was succeeded in the business of
the listillery, 7, Smithfield-bars, by his sons, J. T. Betts,
jun , and Co., on his retiring therefrom in 1843. Mr. Betts
further states, that he is the sole patentee, manufacturer, and
vender of the Metallic Capsule (or solid metal covering for
the mouths of bottles), that no other brandy in England. ex-
cept Betts's Patent Brandy, is thereby protected; the Patent
Metallic Capsule if, therefore, applied to any other brandy,
must have been surreptitiously obtained. Metallic Capsule
