NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS.
1748]
This Lottery consists of 195 Lots of Land, belong- ing to the said Peter Bodine, and are situated some of them in the very Heart of that growing Place, known by the Name of Raritan-Landing, which is a Market for the most plentiful Wheat Country of its Bigness in America. The front Lots on the North Side of the main Road are Number 14, and are all 63 Foot front, and are one with the other 150 foot back, and some more: There are great Improve- ments on two of the said front Lots, such as Houses, Store-Houses, Gardens, and other Out houses.
There is also fronting the South Side of the main Road, 9 good building Lots of 63 Foot front, and 132 Foot back, and some larger ; on one of which there is a good new House. Also 16 Lots between the main Road and the River, each Lot containing near an Acre; all which Lots are very conveniently situ- ated for loading of Boats, and for the Market.
There is also 156 other Lots, containing one with the other near Three Quarters of an Acre, some of which are well timbred, and so contrived in the laying them out, that they are commodiously situated for Building, and other Uses.
The Lottery consists of 930 Tickets, at Twenty Eight Shillings, Jersey Money at 8 s. per Ounce each, amounting to the said Sum of £.1302 ; of which Tickets 195 are to be fortunate, agreeable to the Number of Lots, which are of different Values accord- ing to their different Situations. Messrs. Bernardus Le Grange and George Vroome are appointed Man- agers of the said Lottery, which will be drawn on the first Day of February next, and sooner if full, at some

convenient Place at the said Raritan-Landing, under the Inspection of Edward Antil, Esq; and Mr. Hen- drick Vroome, and others to join them if need be ; who, with the said Managers, will be upon Oath for the faithful Discharge of that Trust. The fortunate Tickets will be published in the New-York Gazette, as soon as drawn ; and the said Bodine will be at the Expence of laying out each Lot severally, but the Drawer to be at the Expence of a Deed. A Map of the Whole is already carefully prepared, and will be shewn at the Time of Drawing, and at any Time be- fore, to such as have a Mind to be Adventurers.
This Lottery must be at least as advantageous as any that has as yet appeared ; First, Because the lowest Prize will be worth at least Four Pounds, and so gradually ascending to {250. Secondly, Because there will be but little more than three and a half Blanks to a Prize: And Thirdly, Because the Lots must increase in Value very fast, as being situate in the most flourishing Part of the Province, and sur- rounded by a very fruitful, well-settled and fast-grow- ing Country, to which this Landing is the most nat- ural, easy and best Market. Tickets may be had at the said Bodine's, and the said Managers .- The N. Y. Gazette Revived in the Weekly Post Boy, Nov. 28, 1748.

THE Managers of the Charity Lottery, at the City of New-Brunswick, hereby give Notice, That they will begin the Drawing the said Lottery the seventh Day of February next, and continue to draw from Day to Day until finished, provided a certain Quan- tity of Tickets yet remaining unsold, can be sold off ; if not, to drop it, to the End that every one that has purchased Tickets, may receive his Money so paid for the same back again. But wish this may not be the Case ; as it must needs be a shocking Disappoint- ment to the Object proposed to be relieved by it : Yet to proceed in this Way seems now quite neces- sary, in order to Quiet the Minds of those concerned ; some whereof seem dissatisfied it has been postpon'd so long, which nevertheless was unavoidable.

Mr. Parker,
The Council of Proprietors of East New-Jersey, having observed an Advertisement several Times print- ed in yaur Paper, concerning New-Britain ; in order to caution People against being imposed upon by that fraudulent Affair, have ordered me to request your publishing the following Part of the 4th and 5th Pa- ges of their Publication of March 25th 1746.

etors, where the Land has after been recovered by others, and where the Sufferers had not or may not have full Redress ; the Origin of two of those Cases was about the Year 1709, when an unhappy Gentle- man, since deceased, then a Proprietor, was imposed upon to sign one Deed for about One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Acres of Land, called New-Brit- ain, and another Deed for about Fifty Thousand Acres of Land at Romapack, without any legal Ap- propriation thereof to him, and without any Consider- ation paid to him, as ever after during his Life he averred ; and that he did not dream or believe, that a Foot of them was in East New-Jersey ; to prove which, he preserved, and his Representatives now have, sundry Letters under the Hand of the princi- pal Grantee in both these Deeds, which have been given in Evidence in his Presence in the Supreme Court.
The Grantees of the greatest Tract, sold some thereof, which being legally appropriated by other Proprietors, they recovered against the Possessor about 25 Years ago ; and as those Grantees were so cunning as to give only joint Covenants to the Pos- sessor, so that they could not be proceeded against at Law, for the Recovery of his Damages, till all were taken ; and as some lived out of the Province, Relief at Law for that Reason, could not be had ; whereof the Proprietors who recovered, compassionating the Man against whom they recovered, stayed their Exe- cution, and for him and in his Name filed a Bill in Chancery against those Sellers, to compel them to pay the Costs of the Suit ; and all Monies paid by

him in Part of the Consideration Monies, and for his Defence, and to deliver up his Bonds for the rest of the Consideration Money, all which they got done for him; and upon the Proprietors threatening to file a Bill in Chancery, to set aside that Deed for the Irreg- ularity and Fraud in granting and obtaining of it, to prevent People from being further imposed on by it, they promised to do Justice to the few others, to whom they had sold, by giving up their Bonds .- The N.

Mr. Parker, Please to give these few Lines a Place in your Paper.
AS there has been great Disorders in the Prov- ince of East-Jersey, of late Years, by a Set of Men who call themselves Proprietors, seemingly desirous to sacrifice the whole Country for their own Interest ; and who delight to sacrifice their Neighbours, by tak- ing away their good Names by false Reports, as de- claring that Amos Robords was committed to Goal for speaking of Treason: But these Lines comes to certify, that if any Person will bring two sufficient Evidences, and prove the same to be Fact, shall have for his so doing the Sum of Ten Pounds on Demand, by me Amos Robords. But further ; Upon the Sev- enteenth Day of October last, I appeared at Newark, and offered to take the Oath of Alegiance before Uzal Ogden, and Mathias Hetfield, Esqrs; Further,
