NOTICE,

This is the character of our noble William Colwell, that was said to be duly sworn in as lister of all taxable property in the county of Dearborn Indiana Territory in the year 1814 he Volunteered himself before the court and Jury of Lawrenceburgh, and made oath that he went to the house of Robert Ricketts in said county, and demanded a list of his taxable property, and received all that he was willing to give in, and qualified him, after being qualified he told him, that he had two more quarter sections of land that he did not give in, but still insisted that it was not taxable property, being that it was only entered but this being brought into action before the court and Jury in said county, and William Ricketts seniour, Robert Ricketts jr, Isaac Ricketts and John Ricketts, was called upon to give in our testimony before the court and Jury in said trial, but being interrupted on oath, we did not declare whether it was before said Ricketts, was qualified, or after that he told of this said land, but believed it to be before, I myself in particular by lawyer Lane’s asking me this question, and I John Ricketts did answer that I did not remember exactly, but I believed it was before, which I can prove though said Robert was cast in said trial, though it has been reported in general through the neighborhood, that we the evidence did give our evidence against said Robert, that he did not tell of this land until he was duly qualified, though said Robert was granted a new trial, but instead of getting a new hearing, his case was thrown out of court and then said Robert for to get revenge knowing that he was innocent, did indite said Colwell for swearing false against him and said William Rickets was called upon again to give in his evidence, & William Rickets junion & I John Rickets, when we did testify the second time, that said Robert did tell of the said land before he was qualified, then it was the general report through the neighborhood that said Robert was cast the second time and that we of the last evidence did all sware false, being that we were all relations of one name, but if three or four of one name cannot declare the truth, I can prove the same to be the fact by twelve or thirteen witnesses, if any one sees fit to put me to my proof against said Colwell in this case, though the same witnesses will be called upon again, and more of the same name, which will be Susannah Rickets, Edward Rickets, Elizabeth Rickets, William Moulton, John Moulton, Susannah Moulton, Phebe Chirridon and Sarah Bennet, these is the witnesses that I will call on, and if that will not satisfy any person, I will undertake to prove that I told of the witnesses in the time of the first term, now I will leave it to the reader to judge, whether it is reasonable or not that I should sware first against my father and then in turn round and tell of these other witnesses, which undoubtedly would appear that I had sworn false, and I would be very glad if said Colwell would sue me for his character, and then I would be in hopes of getting revenge for the injury done to my character, now if any one wishes to know who was so imprudent as to write this advertisement against this nobleman, let them look down at the lower end of this advertisement and they may see that my name is,
