THE Public are hereby again Cautioned against Persons in this town who are in the practice of taking Orders for Guinness's Porter, and executing those Orders with other inferior Porter, which they represent to be Guinness s. CHARLES SMITH begs to remind his Friends, and the Public at large, that he is Messrs. Guinness and Co.'s Sole Consignee for Newport and the greater part of the County of Monmouth and that all Porter sold as Guinness's, and not supplied by him, is spu- rious. Those who send it out show their conscious- ness of its inferiority by thus dishonestly using ano- ther person's name to enable them to pass it off. C. SMITH avails himself of this opportunity to nform those who have recently come to reside in the neighbourhood, that he has constantly on hand, in first-rate condition, GUINNESS'S EXTRA STOU r PORTER, BASS'S & ALLSOPP'S BITTER ALE AND BURTON ALE, THE NOTED STOGUMBER ALE, AND THE CHOICEST DEVONSHIRE AND HEREFORD CIDER, any of which may be had in Caskor Bottle; and ROY'S SCOTCH ALE, AND RED PEAR AND SQUASH PERRY, in Bottle; also LANE'S CORK DRAUGHT PORTER, BATH AND BRISTOL OLD BEER, ALE, &c„ and SCHWEPPE'S SODA-WATER & LEMONADE. C. S. is quite sure that to those who know him, he need say nothing respecting the goodness of those things that he sells; but he begs to assure those to C, whom he may be a stranger, that they may rely upon every article that lie sends out being strictly what it is called, and perfectly pure and unadulterated.
