Whereas about eight Weeks since the notorious John EWSTON, now confined in the Castle, came to the House of John FRIAR, at the Crown in Trowse, and there left a Bay Mare, with a switch Tail, about thirteen Hands and a Half high, rising six Years old, and rather dim-sighted; and as there is reason to suppose the Mare was stolen, this is to give Notice, that whoever can prove a Property in the said Mare, may have her again by applying to the said John FRIAR, and paying all reasonable Expences [sic], otherwise she will be sold, in order to indemnify him the Charges he has been at.
Whereas I Edward SYMONDS of Garveston, in the County of Norfolk,
Carrier, did on the second Day of March, 1782, receive of Messrs ADDEY
and HERRING, of the City of Norwich, a Thrum of common Sattins [sic],
in the Name of, and to be woven by, John TILNEY; and whereas I
delivered the same to William GARRETT, a Porter, in Norwich, to be
woven by any other Person he chose to employ, contrary to the Law in the
Case provided.* The said Messrs ADDEY and HERRING had determined
to prosecute me for the said Offence, but in Compassion to my Family,
upon my asking their Pardon in the Public Newspaper, and paying the
Expense of this Advertisement, they have humanely agreed to drop their
intended Prosecution against me; for which Lenity I think myself
much obliged to them.
Witness my Hand, Edward SYMONDS, his mark X
Signed in the Presence of us, at Norwich, this 30th of March, 1782.
Richard EVERITT, Carlton Carrier.
