s OMPLETE RADICALS. --. We think Messrs.
"VEWRIGIITS, the Contractors for the present
P°Pnlar Lottery, ought to be termed Complete
Tanks,
as they have almost extinguished
lanks, made double the Number of Prizes there
usually are,and given the unprecedented Number
'tf Nine 21,000 Prizes ! In fact, such a
. ITadical Reform in the Lottery System has been
,421rPoted; that they deserve well of their Coun-
and no doubt, they will be rewArded, and
soon.; as the Drawing begins the Ai, the
1,1•43 r when Parliament meet, on which day, at
AtaEt. i t=ree ee 21,000 must be drawn.
