Whereas it has maliciously been reported that I had one
hundred subscribers, besides sixteen transients for the late
ball on the 4th instant, at 8s lawful money each; that but
part of the money was expensed; and that I had reserv'd ten
guineas for myself.----I therefore beg leave to publish the
following accounts, which will convince the world that the
report was altogether false,-- and that no more remains than
one pound sixteen shillings and seven pence, for all my
trouble and expence of time. William Turner.
