had presented his confectionery store as nuisance,
"for the of its being general resort tor ne

il is well known that my store is daily trequented by
the most respectable ladies and gentlemen IN town,
which fact is alone sufficient to prove the unusness
of and to fasiy, the statement made by the grand u-
