PHILADELPHIA: Printed and Sold by JOHN DUNL AP, in Market-street,
Philadelphia, June 16.
WHEREAS the frequent defections from this
city, and quantity of eloaths fold by the soldiers,
gives great room to suppose the former are aided and
assisted by ill difpefed persons, and the latter encou
raged by ignorant persons purchasing soldiers deaths,
arms, &c. I therefore think it requisite to inform all
persons, that by an aft of the General Assembly of this
State, , ,
Every Constable is authcrifed and dire&ed to search
every fufpe&ed place for deserters, and bring before a
Judice of the Peace every suspicious person, whom the
Justice is to commit it be fees any reasonable cause; and
as a recompence for the trouble, every Constable appre
hending a deierter, or the Goaler or Sheriff for him, is
to receive from the t fficer to whom be is delivered up,
Three Dollars, over and above the Continental bounty
of Ten Dollars:'
% Every person harbouring, fix hours by day or twelve
by night, any deserter, is to pay the turn of Five Pounds;
Every person tiding any arms, caps, cloaths, or
other furniture or accoutrements belonging to the United
States of America, cr causing the colour of such cloaths
to be changed, thall pay the value thereof, and also a
fine of Five Pounds.
Half of the above fines to go to the poor of the town
(hip, and half te the informer.
As there is great reason to believe many deserters are
received on board armed and other vWels, all com
manders are pequetted to be cautious whom they engage,
as the Law will certainly be enforced against every one
on board whose vessel a deserter is found.
Every person apprehending and bringing a deserter
from the Continental Army or Navy to me in Front
ftreet, the fourth dour below the Coffee house, shall re
ceive a reward of Ten Dollars, and One Shilling tor
every mile such deserter shall be brought from the plage
where taken, LEWIS NICOLA, Town- Major.

WHEREAS a man about the middle of
December last came to my house, (the sub
scriber's) and in the way of difeourfing I a&eb him from
whence he came ? he said from Maryland. , In the
morning he told me that he was going to one Christian
K-rn, with whom he had left a horse in the month of
July last, and that he was going to take him away. In
his return he called at my house again; I a'fked him
whether he had got hi, horse ? he answered no, and that
Mr. Kern had told him the horse was dead.. In the
month of January last my neighbour Jacob Weasel came
to my house, and told me that Mr. Kern had fold the
above-mentioned horse to one Henry Hoover,; I en
quired ot said Hoover's neighbours whether he had such
a horse; they said he had. After tome time I told
'Square M'Henry of the matter, And that he should tell
Mr. Hoover not to dispose of grid horse, hut keep him
till the right owner came for him : Mr. M'Henrytold
it to said Kern, who bame to me and enquired about
the man, and whether, he was German or English ; I
told him a German by big speech, and he replied that
the owner of the boric wa§ an English native, Now,
therefore, if the owner should hear of this, and will ap
ply to Mr. Henry Hoover, in Bucks County, Pennfjl
vahia, he may find his dead /horse alive again.
And whereas! observed in Mr. Kern's advertisement
that he desires the o^ner to come ^nd take ^way his
horse, otherwise he would fell him within three weeks
after notice,to pay costs, at which I am very much fur
prized, for &[r. Kern with his own mouth confeffed be
/fore me and evidences, that he had fold the horse and
received the money.
