A Caution to the Public. [heading]
Whereas the Reverend John Smith, residing at Plantation La Resouvenier, has been, some time about the 9th instant, very grossly imposed upon, by a person generally styling himself Felix Mayar; and who, on this occasion, introduced himself by the name of the Undersigned, affecting to be really the subscriber in person. And, as similar tricks may have been under the same cloak, practised on other persons; and in order that a stop may be put to such evil practices in future - the Undersigned feels himself called upon to intimate to the public, that he is in no wise connected with said Felix Mayar, and that he is even totally unacquainted with that individual.
