RUN AWAY from me, on the 20th of last month, PHILANDER, SAM, and WILL: the former two so well known in town that there needs no description. WILL is a short fellow, about five feet high, formerly the property of Mr. John Holmes, late of Church-street, and served some years to a cooper on Maine's wharf. A reward of one Dollar for each, is offered to any person who will deliver them to the warden of the work-house, and TEN POUNDS to any person who will give information of their being harboured, to be paid on conviction of the offender.
JONATHAN SCOTT.
December 1, 1766.
