DESERTED, Cæsar Augustus, black driver to the horse department of the Royal Artillery, about five feet high, very much bandy-leg’d; had on when he went away, a regimental blue coat with a red collar, red waistcoat, linen trowsers and round hat. Whoever apprehends the said deserter, shall receive one Guinea reward, by applying to the office of the horse department, No. 16, Nassau Street. It is suspected that he is gone to Bergen Point, or on board some of the vessels in the harbour. Whoever harbours or conceals the said deserter, shall be prosecuted as the law directs.
