of Pain:” on the reverse, with date 1797, and the words “ French 
Reforms,” is a deep bowl called “ Fraternity,” (in which is sunk

—Falsity and Requisition. 
Such matters as the abolition of the Slave trade, are not passed

Wiltshire had its half-pence as well as other counties, and this - 
paper will conclude with the description of some of them.
