A short time ago, man who resides near

profitable tract of land, the annual rent of
which amounted to about 60 pound, OF
which sum each paid so pound. Previous
to this unfortunate mans going TO pay his
March rent, he called on his partner to
know it she was ready to accompany HIM,
and take up their receipts according to
custom. The poor woman said she was
not then prepared, having only 90 pound

the man was sent for. On his being

he totally denied it, and seemed to have no
knowledge at all of the affair. At
