Default Foreign Paper from when 'tis taken

Hi,

I am struggling with the underlined phrase. Could anybody do me a favor?

The Daily Courant was composed of a single sheet of two columns, it sold for one penny and offered its readers both domestic and international news (the latter translated from 'the Foreign Paper from when 'its taken')

Thanks a lot. :o

Mei

It's a mistake- it should read:
'the Foreign Paper from which it's taken'
or
'the Foreign Paper where it's taken from'

It's = the international news.
