Remarkable _ADVERTISEMENTS_.
In the _Gazette_, _Jan. 30._ ’tis advertis’d, that in _July 1729_, at
_Bentworth_ in the County of _Southampton_, a barn was set on fire, and
the corn and grain therein, the Stables and out houses adjoining were
entirely burnt. Several messuages in the said parish have since been
confirmed in the same manner, and _Bentworth_, it self threatned to be
laid in ashes; his Majesty’s pardon is promised to any one that would
discover his Accomplice.
In the _Gazette_ of the same date, ’tis advertis’d, that the widows
of such half-pay Officers as serv’d, and to whom they were marry’d in
the year 1716, may receive their proportions of the sum of 1500 _l._
granted the last Sessions of Parliament for that purpose.
_London Evening Post_, _Jan. 28th._ ’tis advertis’d from _Whitehaven_,
that a vessel sailed for _London_, laden with the late Mr. _Wood_’s
ore, coals, cinders, and lime-stone, to be carried to _Chelsea_, to
give a Specimen that iron is to be made from the ore and pit-coal. A
reason is demanded why _Chelsea_, that produces neither, is a better
place to make iron, than the neighbourhood of _Whitehaven_, where there
is plenty of both, unless there was design of imposing upon the World?
Any poor person may be cured of the _Ague_ gratis, by a dose only,
which may be contained in a gill-glass, and never known to fail.
To be had of Mr. _Sam. Tripland_, at the _Coach-maker’s Arms_ in
_Great-windmill-street_, over-against the _Hay-market_.
Letters patent were granted to Mr. _G. Kettle_ of _Southwark_, for
making and dying of hats and ruffs of different colours, except black.
