On Sunday last, from the subscriber, in Mendham

of age, five feet eight inches high, one leg a
little shorter than the other, part of one of his great
toes cut off, loft some foreteeth, and his back is
much fcarrified and in lumps by whipping.---Also a
handsome NEGRO WENCH, 18 years of age,
with her Child about fix. weeks old, which from
some of its clothes being found, she is supposed to
have killed. The Negroes went off with one Slight,
a soldier belonging to the 2d Pennsylvania regiment,
and they stole, and took with them, a variety of
clothes, and two horses, the one a bay, four years
old, the other a grey, seven years old, and have
switch tails. The soldier stole a written discharge,
in the name of William Nelson, whom he will pro
bably perfonate. Whoever takes up the said Ne
groes and horses, so that the owner may get them

HERMAS Debtor John Hunt, of New-Jersey,
son of John Hunt, deceased, late Agent of the
West-Jersey Society, and purchaser of a propriety or
24th part of Eatt-Jerfey, hath, for some time pad,
undertaken to dispose of the interests entrusted to the
care of his late father, as his own property, without
the least colour of title ; and hath also entered into
sundry contrasts, as heir at law to his father, respec
ting the said propriety ; —by which means unwary
persons may be drawn into expences and trouble, for
which they can have no canfideration or future re
cornpence in law or equity from said lands. And as
I am one of the West-Jersey Society, and have also
purchased of the said John Hunt, deceased, in the
year 1766, one-sixth patt of the said propriety, I have
thought proper to give this public caution, and to as
sure the intended purchasers, or tenants under Doc
tor Hunt, that his father was a mere Agent or Attor
ney to the West-Jersey Society, and his powers are
extinguished by his death : That the said John Hunt,
who died at Winchester, in Virginia, in the year 1778,
made a will, which, by the laws of New-Jersey, will
pass the estate to the devifees therein named, for the
payment of his debts and legacies, totally excluding
his son, Doctor Hunt ; and of course, that he cannot
legally rent or convey any part of the premises above
described. And whereas, being the only person in
America interested in the estate of the Weft -Jersey So
ciety, I lately gave a Power of Attorney to Joseph
Ball, of Batfto iron-works, to take care of the tim
ber lands belonging to said Society, and it now ap
pearing to me that the said Ball has been concerned
with sundry persons, who are in custody in this city,
in whipping lumber to New-York, which I have had
reason to believe has been taken from the timber lands
of the said Society, contrary to the trust I reposed in
him, I do revoke the said Power, and forbid all per
sons poffeffmg or cutting timber off any of said lands
under the said Doctor John Hunt, said Ball, or any
other person ; and do give this notice to all trespass
. ers on the lands of the said Society, that I shall profe
,cute them with the utmost Severity of the law. The
collectors of taxes in New-Jersey will be pleased to
inform me, by letter from time to time, what the
taxes are, due from said lands, and they shall be paid,
so as to save the property from being plundered and
destroyed for very trifling sums.
