From the Apparition of the late Maryland Gazette, which is
not, but only sleeping.
Frederick-Town, 30th November, 1765.
The Stamp-Act having received a mortal wound by the hands of
Justice, on Saturday last gave up the ghost, to the great
joy of the inhabitants of Frederick County. The lifeless
body lay exposed to public ignominy 'til yesterday, when it
was thought proper, for preventing infection from its
stench, (like Pandora's Box) to bury it in the following
manner.
Form of the Funeral Procession.
1. The Colours of the Town Company-- 2. Drums-- 3. The
Banner displayed, with this inscription in large characters-
- Constitutional Liberty asserted by the Magistrates of
Frederick County. 23d November, 1765.
