A CARD, To the Freeholders and Freemen, of this City and County,

FROM Messrs. Axe and Hammer, and a number of the respectable body of Leather Aprons, give their Compliments to their Old Friends who have not yet joined them; and beg they will be Stanch and Hearty in hinder­ing a Lawyer, from representing this Commercial City. And beg likewise they would remember what honest Jolt the Cartman said, that he had never got Sixpence by riding Law books, but many pounds of the Merchants." That it is trade, and not Law, that supports our Families, as many a Man can tes­tify; and One of their Number in particular, whom it Cost upwards of £ 700 C. D—k.

THEY present their Compliments to Mr. Hatchway and Bowline, and beg that they would be sharp in their Observations, lest there should lie a Rock under the Water, on which they might strike, and be dashed into Pieces. —take care of Combinations.

New-York, Tradesman's-Hall, January 14, 1769
