_Just imported from_ LONDON, _by_
_Jolley Allen,_
At his Shop about Midway between the Governor's and the
Town-House, and almost Opposite the _Heart_ and _Crown_ in
Cornhill,
_BOSTON._
A very large Assortment of English and India GOODS, fit for
all Seasons, too many to be enumerated separately in an
Advertisement.----
_Boston Gazette_, Feb. 20, 1767.

WHEREAS the CO-PARTNERSHIP of Chase & Speakman is mutually
dissolved, this is to desire all persons who are indebted to
them to make speedy payment, and likewise all those who have
any demands on said company, to call and receive their
respective dues of T. Chase, at the venerable LIBERTY-ELM.

BOSTON.
This morning arrived here Captain Paddock, in a schooner from
London, after a long passage.
***_The_ BOSTONIAN _came too late for this day's Paper._

STOLEN,
FROM the side of the house, belonging to _Richard Silvester_,
now the Sign of the
BROKEN POST,
_Newbury street_, Boston, about half an hour past one o'clock
in the morning of the 24th ult.
A Black and White Horse, with a Bridle, without a Saddle.----The
Persons concerned in this Frolick, who were seen and known,
are desired to replace the said Horse, in the manner and form
they found him. And it is hoped, as he is a young creature,
they will not corrupt his morals, by teaching him any of their
bad tricks, but return him soon, as the owner will not allow
any thing for his keeping.
N.B. If he should bite or kick any that have him in
possession; his former master now declares, he will not be
answerable for the damages.----He was not imported from
England, but manufactured in this land of liberty.
_Query._ Whether the persons who knocked at said SILVESTER'S
door, past three o'clock the same morning, in their return
home, and cried THIEVES, were not accomplices in this
_glorious_ exploit.
_Boston Chronicle_, March 1, 1770.
