STOLEN, from the grave yard in Chebacco Parish in Ipswich, the
bodies of eight persons, seven of whom were interred since the
13th of October last; the other, a coloured man, about six
years ago. As without doubt they have all, ere this time,

the rude novice in the art or of the skilful professor, little
hope is entertained of recovering any relict of them for the

detect and bring to justice, either the traders in this
abominable traffic, or their inhuman employers, shall receive
the above reward; and the thanks of an afflicted and
distressed people.

or more; 8 in all more than my present number may have good
employ by calling on
