Stolen or strayed from Mr B Cutchey’s, Badwell Ash near Bury St Edmunds, on Saturday night, or early Sunday morning, August 27 1809, A BRIGHT BAY GELDING PONEY, 4 years old about 14 hands high, lon mane, and cut-tail, a few white hairs on forehead, on white foot on the off-side.
Whoever will discover the offender or offenders, so that he or they may be brought to justice, shall on convistion receive TEN GUINEAS reward, of the aforesaid B. Cutchey; beside the reward of FIVE GUINEAS from the Association at Badwell Ash. If strayed, a handsome reward.


The paragraph inserted in this Paper of Saturday last, stating that an action had been commenced against me by Mr William Candler, of Stowmarket, for an assault is not true. In consequence of a summons from a Magistrate, I appeared to answer a charge of having used abusive language towards the said William Candler; and upon my denying his statement, he said , in the presence of the Magistrate, “D- you Cutchey, it is a d- lye.” This language from a person whose charge against me amounted to no more than abuse, shew that I could be under no necessity of making “proper acknowledgement,” as that paragraph states. At the suggestion of my friend who thought that the less I had to do with such a man the better I paid a £1 note. The ostentatious purchase of bread with this money, and the publicity given so falsely of the transaction, tend to the disgrace of William Candler and not of BARTHOLOMEW CUTCHEY.
Badwell Ash, March 13, 1811
