presented themselves 'as the 'proprietors.' of the • house, and also
p )ssessed of a 'fortune correspondent to it, pn which represents-
Lions they obtained credit thAni a great number of persons, a.
part of whom crowded the justice-room yekertlay:--EVlaeriet to
this effect was given on the part of a piakm-forte-maker, a tailor
