We hall be induced to purfue this mode, becaufe we individually purchafed when there were no mortgages or judgments on the fame, and becaufe we feverally paid the re(pective heirs faid Smith, in purfuance of a divifion made of his eftate in June 1780, by the then High Sheriff, and a jury of the county, and which divi-. fion was afterwards confirmed by the Fuftica of the Or. phan's Court conformable to law. Thus circumitanced, we cannot help inferring and believing, that no boneft citizen wil come forward, ten years after our poffeffion of the preceding propeaceable per and after having amply paid the heis our diftinet purchafe money (much more than the fame are now ally worth) and cruelly attempt to deprive us of that right, which we confidered was ours, both in law and equity. But if, contrary to our rational expectation, fuch unexpected and ungenerous hidders thould appear, and fales be knocked down to them, we repeat our fi fl inti.

mation, by declaring our determination to contend our claims to the utmoft legal and equitable decifion. JOSEPH STRIDE.
