Is which my pease is coupled with the unfortunate deceived
Mr. William Weave, I beg of you to' make public, that the
whole of the slimmest es regards Mr. Wears and asYself, is
false. The proceedings optima Messrs. L. and others were
commenced long before I ever knew Mr. Wears even by name,
and my meeting him was quite accidental at the oillee of Mr.
Noel, when he was giving Ffr. Noel instructions for the pur-
chase of a lease of a house during his, Mr. Weere's, absence
from London. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
