the alley Rurtis followed, and clapped his
hand On her shoulder and said for Gods sake
to call Mr. Copeland and have these papers
signed, or yoa will loose al your land.
Having thus got the signatures Of Cops

that the vendor had to pay the necessary

II Is sufficient to say that the statements
wfth 1egsrd to Rugs were utterly ialse. and
oil stoeks ii the New York market, though
true, we're used to deceive an ignorant man,
by leading him to infer that the good oil

There were no written contracts entered into

A few days afterwards, the Respondents say
II WAS understood that Burtis was to have
half for $4,000, and some days after that
Burtis was to pay his so, 600 BIZ transfer OF
one-half Of bis fourth to Morcy for tho sama

;, Thus Burth wss to hare three-eighshs for
his ten thousand paid to Copeland, and Morcy
f1ye-efghths for his advance Of the same SUM,
thus valuing the speculation at s10o, 600,
though subject 10 tho Ru9g Judgment and the
mortgage. Rugg has neither been paid, nor

Suffice tosay the deed d the Sd, Of april
