Justice in the following unblushing strain

deists of the metropolis, that he is now con-
fined in the kings bench prison tor want OF
three persons as bail, one in 40Oi, and two in
900; one in 400 being ready. He hopes

it, on the arrival of Dir. Goblet with the
bones of Mr.. Paine, will doubtless, be spec
Oily rubbed away.
