  Sheet lacks colophon; as Call was attorney for the appellants, it is most likely that he used Nicolson's press for this notice, as a consequence of his ongoing relationship with Nicolson in publishing his reports on cases before this same court; furthermore, Nicolson had become the printer of choice for legal titles by this time; these factors inform the attribution here.
