Extracts from the Gazette, 1733
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, February 8, 1733

On the 20th past, at a special Court of Common-Pleas held here, came on a Tryal between A. Hamilton, Esq; Plaintiff, and Robert Gregory with Mary his Wife, Defendants; when the Plaintiff recovered £500 Damage against the Defendants, for conspiring to charge him with the unnatural Abuse of the Body of the said Mary Gregory. It appear’d upon the Tryal, from a great Number of Witnesses, that the whole was a villanous Forgery, contriv’d against the said A. Hamilton to extort Money from him: that the said Mary is a Person of a most abandoned and infamous Character, and that she had made the like Attempts against sundry other Persons of unblemished Reputation in this City.
