New-York, March 17, 1760. Saturday Evening Run-away from on Board the Snow Sadler, a Negroe Boy named Glasgow, aged about 18 Years, has got several Cuts in his Forehead, has a very clumsy Walk, and talks very broken English: Had on when he went away, a blue great Coat, a plain white Swan-skin Jacket, a pair of Trowsers, a pair of light blue Stockings joined in the Middle, and new pair of Shoes. Whoever takes up the said Boy, and brings him to his Master, shall have a Reward of THREE POUNDS, and all reasonable Charges paid by Captain WILLIAM FITZHERBERT, now living at the New-Dock.
N.B. All House-Keepers and Masters of Vessels are forbid to harbour the said Boy, for if they do, they may depend on being prosecuted according to Law.
