RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber this morning, about nine o’clock, Two Negro Lads, called STEPNEY and PRINCE: The first 20 years of age, about 5 feet 8 inches high, well made genteel fellow, has a small impediment in his speech, red eyes from an inflamation in them, and has taken clothes with him of various kinds, but generally wears a green short coat, a blue under waist-coat, and buck-skin breeches, with a blue surtout-coat, and has been used to wait in a Gentleman’s family.—PRINCE is about 5 feet 5 inches high, 17 years of age, has thick lips, and a remarkable large mouth; he is talkative and impudent; had on a pair of blue cloth trowsers, a reddish sailors jacket, and dark brown great coat; he has been used to work at the Ship-Carpenters Business, and understands caulking and mast-making pretty well. It is supposed they have gone on board some vessel immediately bound to sea.
All Masters of vessels are requested not to harbour or take them off. Any person delivering them to Capt. Nicholson, No. 92, William Street, shall have Five Guineas Reward for each.
New-York, Dec. 2, 1783.
