Certain slanderous words spoken the wife of William Henderson against said Smith, and after hearing the witnesses on both sides, concluded that said Betsey Henderson has spoken rediculous and slanderous words against the character of said Smith without just grounds. We therefore award said Betsy shall before as many witnesses as Smith can convene at the house of Maj. John Lewis on Monday next publickly acknowledge that the slanderoulous (sic) and base words that she spoke of said Smith are false and groundless. If Betsey refused to make this acknowledgement, she is to pay 50 Spanish dollars.
