Transciption:	A FALSE REPORT. To the Editor of the Newbury Weekly News. you oblige me with a small space in your valuable paper to contradict a false report circulated by some busy-body or evil-disposed person respecting me, to the effect that I am bankrupt, in which there is not the slightest truth, as can be proved by any one in Newbury it may concern, or to whom I am indebted, by calling on me and receiving twenty shillings in the pound. His Worship the Mayor stated on the Bench last week, that people in Newbury do not always speak the truth, and this is another proof of it; and as it is calculated to injure me in my business, you will greatly oblige by inserting this in your next. I am Sir, yours respectfully, ROBERT RAPSON. Northbrook St., Newbury. June 18 1868 NWN
