Ran away from the ſubſcriber, on the 13th of May, one Joseph Randall, a tall, trim-built fellow: Had on, when he went away, a blue coat, velvet waiſtcoat and breeches, mixt coloured ſtockings, and wore away two felt hats; he rode away a black horſe, and led a ſorrel horse; he is ſuppoſed to be lurking in the ſouth part of Scantick after a ſtrumpet that he has ſpent the moſt of his time with for three years paſt. Whoever will take up ſaid Randall, and return him to me, ſhall have 3 coppers reward; but whoever will take the trouble to keep him away ſhall have ten dollars reward, and all neceſſary charges paid by me.

Susannah Randall.

N.B. All perſons are forbid harbouring him, for I am determined to maintain him no longer.
