Not recorded on ESTC, which notes just two other printings by Joseph Rollason, in 1797 and 1799, but he was active as a printer between 1795-1829. On 19th August 1805, Mr Hancox, the Gamekeeper, placed a similar notice in Aris's Birmingham Gazette: 'The Game upon the Estates of the late Honourable Mrs. Foley, within the Manors of Kinfare and Compton Hallows, in the County of Stafford, having of late Years been much destroyed; it is particularly requested by the Guardian of the Children, and Trustees of the Estates, that Gentlemen will forbear to sport upon the late Mrs. Foley's Estates, Woods, and Plantations'.
