After Cook’s trial for the pretended assault, the public will be favored with the names and residences of the parties who are the principal objects of this publication; a great number of whom will be compelled to attend in Court, to give evidence on particular points connected with the trial.
I have only to add, in conclusion, that, as I begun with an apology for writing these pages at all, I now feel an equal inclination to apologize for having written them so ill, and so unworthy the pen of any man laying the least claim to literary abilities;—it has been an odious task; but my end is answered if it procures the injured man and his wife that justice I think them entitled to; and I hope the sale of it will afford them some relief.

N.B. Cook intreats me to say, that during the twelve years he was in business he dealt with the following persons, exclusive of Starkey and Meux; whose justice he now challenges, to say if his conduct has not been uniformly marked with integrity.
| Rickets and Hill | Distillers |
| Sharp and Lucas | Ale Brewers |

| Stephens and Paget | Distillers |
| Felix Calvert | Porter Brewer |
| Brown and Parry | Ditto |
| Parry and Brown | Distillers |

Does this man deserve the treatment of a cheat, a swindler, or a thief?

FOOTNOTES.
[62] It is very remarkable that Creswell, the author of the outrage just stated, should be selected for the execution of the warrant for the assault; and it is equally unfortunate for the poor woman, that this Parochial Pole-cat lives in the neighbourhood of the Fleet-prison, and is continually insulting her.
