THE'LAST OF l'II:E LOTTERY,,;., NOTICE.
o'
THE PUBLIC.--41, Act of Parliament,
-11- 4 Geo. IV. crap. 60, Ihnits the duration of Lotteries in
Great Britain and Ireland to the one drawing, announced to
take place, 18th July. The eertaintY of this being the very
last opportunity of adventuring itt the Wheel of Fortune has
created a demand far beyond the sale,of any recent Lottery • and
there is no doubt that, but for the extraordinary pressure Of the
times, and the intervention of the Cre.neral Elections, which eu,..
tirely absorbed the public attention for a considerable period,
every Ticket and Share would have been sold long since. A Re-
presentation of these facts to his Majesty's Government induced the
Lords COMMisiinners 'of the Treasury to grant further time for
the sale of such Tickets as remain unsold, which will enable „an
persons-to potato: themselves of Farewell Chances fur y
the SIX
PRIZEris-OB THIRTY THOUSAND POUNDS w
ho
Intiii
Y
otherwise , ha
° suffered. the Lottery to close for , w
ever without
the licter of partaking of its last favours: By their ordships'
Warrant, in the Gazette, the final Drawing is to take place on
Wanatzetwir,' the Eighteenth day af OCTOBEA next, instead of,
al herottivukoluteed, . the lath of July.
