I'll lay a wager, replied Mr. Spider,
that I get a lodging both for myſelf
and my horſe too, let the town be e-

in the town to night, I mean in a bed;
or get your horſe put into a ſtable
there.—Done Sir, ſaid Mr. Spiller, I'll
lay you a gallon of claret that L do;

in the town; And if vou will favour
