"application were made , where applications well-founded will
"never fail of due attention , * * What strange place can this be which the worthy Magistrate is speaking of or dreaming of ? - I who have been upon the look out for such a place for above these 8 years have never yet been able to meet with anything like it? Is it any where about the Treasury ? - any such place as the closet of any such person as the "great "person alluded to" presently after by the worthy Magistrate ?

would enable the magistrates to carry the plan
"into effect". —

"person here alluded to , but a declaration , the truth
"of which , all to whom his character is known, will
"readily confirm".
