may menshun that in one Court there wuz
forty cases in wien niggers wuz plaintiffs,
and tcrty-fva in wich niggers wuz defend
ants The t-yin Nv all these cases wuz
accomplished in three hours and nineteen
mInits; the verdicks in the forty-four fust
cases being invariably for the defendants,
and in the forty five other cases for the
plaintiffs. Nv the time specified, two
hours and twenty-three mInlts wuz con-
sumed by the niggers in payin the costs.
It's a singler thing how wrong the niggers
alluz are.
In addition to this boon, the citizens Nv
