London. . . Dec 8. At a meeting of the commissioners of
bankruptcy, when Mr. Kearsley (who had been abroad some
months) surrendered to the statute, the celebrated Mr. Foote
appeared as a creditor, and was of no little service to Mr.
Kearsley, in throwing the company into good humour, and
remonstrating on Mr. Kearsley's having fallen a martyr to
the cause of Liberty. He began his oration with,
"Gentlemen, it is a very common case for a bookseller to be
seen amongst the creditors of an author, but for once--
strange to tell! you see an author amongst the creditors of
a bookseller."
