Notice of Carew Davis as City Pump Dispatcher and minting scams
A late 18th century style notice from the Mayor and Corporation of Batt appoints Carew Davis as City Pumper, replacing William Ragland, to ensure steady water supply and prevent frauds. The ad details sealed authority, private marks on letters, and references to old bank notes and bills payable to Con De Gols and Rowld Rogers with warnings to halt payments unless verified.
