of British gin per week. The township of Skeifield allows her

that he had not the least inclination to hold any ar.
gument with Mn, Hunt and assured him, on his.
word of honour, that,he never had been the cause of
any thing appearing in the Public Papers alluding td
such threats as be (Mr. Hunt) alluded to; Mr, Multi
