AbstractHistoryArchive Description

An advertisement advising the public 'that the several Parties, alleged to be Partners in The Sydney Times Newspaper ... are not Partners ... and are in no way connected with the fictitious firm of "N. I. Kentish and Co.".'

The advertisement caused some correspondence in Sydney newspapers between Nathaniel Lipscomb Kentish and others including William Kerr.

A notice from the editor of the Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (16 October 1838): 2, published in the part of the newspaper normally reserved for 'notices to correspondents', distances the newspaper from this advertisement: 'we beg to state that we knew nothing whatever of the advertisement until we saw it in print'.
