Whereas I William POOLEY, of Hargham, in the County of Norfolk,
Shepherd, did lately propagate a scandalous Report tending to injure
the Reputation of Jeoffery TOWLER, of Rockland in the said County,
Farmer, for which he has justly ordered an Action to be brought against
me; but has kindly consented to forgive me on my acknowledging my
Crimes, and asking his Pardon, which I do in this public Manner, and do
declare that such Report was false, and groundless, and raised without
the least Foundation in Truth. Witness my Hand this 30th Day of
December, 1779.

Monday was committed to the castle by John FENN Esq., William BROUGHTON of Barton Bendish in this county, charged with stealing a brown mare, the property of Mr Thomas VINCENT of Criplesham, farmer. This mare was advertised last Saturday in the Ipswich paper, by the association held at Downham, offering a reward of five guineas for apprehending the person who stole her. The above young gentleman, although only 22 years of age, has been connected with a gang of smugglers a long time, and stole this mare on the 21st December last, for the purpose of conveying smuggled goods from the sea coast. The owner has not yet recovered her.
Wretton, 24 January 1780.

If the said Mare, Saddle and Bridle, be not taken away, and the Expences [sic] paid before the 21st Day of February next, they will be sold for the Payment of the keeping and other Expences [sic].
