N. U. I publish the above in order to efta
lifh my claim.
inlkt! County, Little Rivet*.
THIS Advertifcment is to t*il
Near Harden’s creek that I do dwell ;
One of my neighbours did falfely tell
That I of him had dole a bell,
He came and did a beil demand,
I would uot give it at command :
| I thought it was bad policy
To give away my property ;
His witness was one Samuel Pope
A fellow that deserves a rope:
M Vey’i J Aitho’ they fay he is not to blame
corn and £ Hart Champion had done for him
fodder. J the fame ;
They then with hade away did spatter,
To appeal before Esquire Harper,
And there they did join hand in hand,
Nor did* they miud the ninth command ;
Piefen’d to swear allured ly,
My bell was Cham pa in’s property ;
Three Popes they allfwore wonderous proper
To lumps of brass tho* it was copper ;
But yet they inifr’d their main delrgn,
I fully prov’d that it was mine ;
No doubt but they may hear this bell,
A ringing loud when they are in hell:
Yet let me not be raih in sentence,
I might excep.ed true repentance,
That is a thing of ule may be,
To such as pratfife perjury.
Jufeph Met an mud have a (hare,
Who did to all advantage swear ;
Now I do challenge the world at Urge,
Who lay fucb things unto my char ge,
Or let them m w their fuil extend,
And X am ready to defend t
And if they w*ll m tatfely swear, (
Hpeak all the truth, end 47 not Ipjre,
1 am neither ftopt by U*r nor rtmti*,
