WHEREAS some Enemies of the Lottery Scheme at the City of New-Brunswick, to raise a Sum of Money by Way of Charity, to relieve Peter Cochran, from his Confinement, have been industrious to propagate and spread a Report far and near amongst the Peo- ple, to the great Prejudice of said Lottery, as if he had sufficient Means within himself where with to satisfy his Creditors, if he was so minded; and that even his Creditors offered him, to take up with all he had : In order therefore to satisfy the Publick in this Res- pect, and at the same Time to shew that the said Re- port is false and groundless, the following Deposi- tions will sufficiently evince.

City of RICHARD WILLIAMS, Esq; New-Brunswick 1 SS. of the City of New-Bruns- wick came this Day before me, and made Oath, That some time since, he received from Peter Cochran an Inventory of his Effects and outstanding Debts, which said Cochran then said was all his Effects, and re- quested this Deponent who was then going to New- York, to apply to his Creditors, viz Joseph Haynes and Mr. Huisman, to know if they would accept of the same in full discharge of their Demands on him, which Mr. Haynes and said Huisman refused, as said Haynes by his Letter informed this Deponent; but said in said Letter if said Peter Cochran would pay them the Sum to which he had valued his said Effects, that they would accept of the same, and take his own Bond for the Remainder of their Demands, payable in seven Years, and thereon discharge him from his Confinement at their Suits.

That he, on Pe- ter Cochran's behalf, shewed unto Messrs.

all which, the said Benjamin assured said Creditors, should be properly convey'd and assign'd to them ; and if they scrupled the Truth thereof, they should have said Cochran's Oath that said Inventory con- tained all he had ; and that he had kept nothing back, provided they the said Creditors, would thereupon give him a discharge and set him at Liberty in their Suits, which they the said Creditors utterly refused to comply with.

New-Brunswick SS. James Neilson, Alderman for said City, Peter Cochran, and being duly sworn, saith, That the Inventory referred to by the Depositions of Richard Williams. Esq; and the Rev. Benjamin Stelle, and was offered by them respectively, to his Creditors at New York, contained all his whole Es- tate, Goods, Chattels, Rights, and Credits, even to the minutest Article, to the best of his Knowledge. And farther saith, That since, nor at any Time before the same was offered by said Richard and Benjamin, to said Creditors at different Times, being, as he well remembers, in the Month of February or March, 1746-7, neither Joseph Haynes, nor Abraham Huis- man, nor any Person from them, or any of them, have offered or proposed to him to accept thereof, or take up therewith, in Payment of their Demands, as he is informed it has been reported.

To the foregoing it may be proper to add, That said Peter Cochran, where he is known, has the gen- eral Character of an honest, sober, and industrious Man, some few Enemies, (which no Man is so happy to be without) only excepted. And it may be also observed, That during his Confinement, he has been indulged with the Use of the Court Room to follow his Trade in, which yet remains unfinished ; and has perhaps, in some Respect, out of Compassion to him, been delay'd until now : But as it has been lately moved by some Members of the Corporation, to have the same finished in a proper Manner, which as it ap- pears highly necessary, will, no doubt, be done in some little Time ; and when that is done, he will be under most piteous Circumstances, as he will then not only be debar'd from that Privilege, but at the same Time, depriv'd of all the Means in the World left him to get Bread for himself and Family. What has been observ'd, may be sufficient to obviate many oth- er invidious Reflections of one kind and another, which, it seems, are so plentifully scattered abroad, without Doubt, with design to prejudice the Minds of People against said Cochran, to disappoint his Hopes with Regard to said Lottery, and to cut him off from the only Prospect which he hath of Relief. Up- on the whole, then it will appear to all candid and un- prejudiced Persons, that said Cochran, is truly such an Object as he is represented to be by said Scheme ; a Scheme which therefore has the noblest of all the Christian Vertues for its Motive; and as such, rec- ommends itself to the Favour of all good Men; and deserves to be promoted and encouraged, notwith-
