Nottingham, [England] Nov. 13. We hear from Newark, that
the vile practice of extorting money from gentlemen by
sending threatning letters, has extended to other countries
as well as those in the west, the following lines being sent
to Mr. Spragging a raft merchant of the said town, viz.
Spragging, remember thou art but dust,
And to thy neighbour very unjust:
Thou neither sticks at great nor small,
Till vengeance once does on thee fall.
