RAN away from the fubferiber, in Greenwich town
fliip, Gloucester county, Weft New-Jersey, two
indented Irish servants, one named James Murphy,
aged about 22 years, 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high, well
made, fair complexion, and pretty much marked with
the small-pox, light coloured hair, which he wears
tied, came with the British army to America, and has
since been in different parts of Jersey, has been a wai
ter at a publick house in Trenton, as he fays, is
very fond of strong drink, and it is likely will try to
get in the fame employ again. The other named Wil
liam M'Cormack, aged about 18 years, 5 feet 3 or 4
inches high, pretty flout made, excepting his legs
which are Dim, dark complexion, black bushy hair,
and a very full face, thick short neck, and a hobbling
kind of a walk, fays he was born in the county Tirone
and served some time to the taylor's trade before he
came away; it is likely he will try to get employ in
that way. The above servants had on and took with
them each an oldish hat, two light coloured cloth coatees
(one had lappels to the breast) one brown grogram
ditto, and cloth under jacket fame colour, with a wool
len striped coatee and jacket of the fame, one light
coloured cloth great coat, two pair of white cloth
breeches, two pair of corduroy ditto, one pair of lea
ther ditto, each a pair of strong hobnailed flioes, to
gether with five other pair of different kinds, five pair
of stockings, two pair of which were blue, two other
pair black, and one pair white. Whoever takes up
said servants, and secures them, so that their master
may get them again, shall have the above reward,
paid by ELIJAH COZENS.
N. B. 'Tis probable they may change their names,
and, as it is thought the last is likely to be the ring
leader, there will be fix dollars given for him if taken se
parate and secured as aforefaid.
