ADVERTISEMENT
An erroneous report, extremely detrimental to my character, having gained more or less public credence, in Grahamstown and elsewhere, to the effect that I have – in consideration of being paid a sum of money – lately connived at the smuggling of a considerable quantity of Gunpowder, which is falsely said to have been conveyed by me, either from Port Elizabeth or Grahamstown, to Burghersdorp. I deem it expedient, with a view to clear my character from such a stain, to declare this publicly, - that no consideration could induce me to be a party to any such nefarious proceedings. I likewise further notify, to all who may yet entertain a false impression of my conduct in regard to this unfounded report, that I have been summoned into Court, and the matter has been subjected to the enquiry of the Clerk of the Peace, at Grahamstown, when it was satisfactorily proved that, with respect to me, the charge was wholly incorrect.
If this Advertisement should chance to meet the eye of the person or persons with whom this false imputation originated, I would venture them not in future to be quite so ready and officious in spreading reports, which may tend to injure the character of another, without sufficient proof to back their statements, for, although such reports can but for a short time prejudice the good name of the wrongly accused, they are notwithstanding the cause (as in this instance) of much anxiety, needless trouble, and inconvenience.
