We have been authorised to contradict the account of
the marriage of Mr. Hamilton Ferguson of Banbridge
to Miss Brown, which appeared in the News Letter of
Tuesday. It was forwarded to us in a letter, and accom-
panied by what we supposed to be a genuine signature.‹
If we can discover the author of this fabrication he shall
hear from us.²‹Belfast News-Letter.‹We copied the
alleged marriage from our Belfast contemporary.

WE, the undersigned, HEIRS and REPRESEN-
TATIVES of the late THOMAS GORDON, of
Cannonsburg, Esq. Washington County, Pennsylvania,
thus publicly return our sincere and grateful Thanks to
WILLIAM J. DUANE, Esq. Attorney at Law, Phila-
delphia, for his indefatigable and zealous exertions in
recovering and transmitting to us, at a very moderate ex-
pense, the amount of the real and personal Estate be-
queathed to us in the Will of our late Uncle, the said
THOMAS GORDON. Although we are aware, that
no testimony of ours can add to the respectability, pro-
fessional zeal, honest worth and well known integrity
of Mr. DUANE, yet we think it an act of duty incumbent
on us to express our grateful sense of the serious obliga-
tions conferred on us by a Professional Gentleman resi-
ding in another quarter of the Globe‹to whose person
we are perfect strangers. We would, therefore, strongly
recommend all Persons, circumstanced as we have been,
having property in America, to endeavour to obtain the
protection of WILLIAM I. DUANE.
(Signed)
DAVID HENDERSON, L.L.D., Newry.
THOS. GORDON, Edenmore, Florence Court.
STEPHEN BAVIS, Enniskillen.
MARY NIXON, Conrick, Enniskillen.
