THREE POUNDS REWARD
Run-away on Friday the 12th Inst. from the Subscriber at Hunterdon
County, in New-Jersey, an Apprentice, named DAVID COX, about Twenty
Years of Age, a Carpenter and Joiner by Trade, but its likely he may
pass for a Mill-Wright, as he has two Brothers of that Trade, that
works near Albany. He is about 5 Feet 10 Inches high, large boned,
knock kneed, of a dark Complexion, down Look, black Eyes, black Hair,
and wears it tied. Had on when he went away, a grey coloured Coat and
Jacket, pretty much worn, with Horn Buttons on them, new Leather
Breeches, with black Horn Buttons, Russia Shirt, black Yarn Stockings,
new Shoes, also a rusty Castor Hat, wears it cocked: It is also
suspected he has stole his Indentures, and will very likely show them
for a Pass, as he is near of Age. Whoever apprehends said Apprentice,
and secures him in any Goal, so that his Master may have Notice
thereof, shall have the above Reward, paid by me.
JAMES TAYLOR.
N. B. Perhaps he may change his Cloaths, that he may not be discovered.
