A LEGACY.
WHEREAS John Alien, of Bury-street, St.James's,
Esq; who died March 17th, 1774, did, by a
codicil dated the 10th day of July, 1755, give to John
Allen, of Bloorn's- grove, in Worcertcrihire, wire drawer,
Five Hundred Pounds. After the most diligent enquiry,
information has been received, that he, with his son
John, embarked for America about seven years ago, and
the accounts received of him from thence are, that he
some years since resided with Mr. Wells, a painter, at
New-York, and since that was an Anabaptist preacher
in the Eastern part of the Maffachufett’s Bay, but the
last accounts of him were dated from Kennebec.
As every means have been used to inform the said John
Allen of the above legacy, by advertisements in the Lon
don Gazette of August the 29th, and Sept. zd, 1775,
&c. desiring him to apply to the executors of the said
John Alien, Esq; in order for him to receive it, but
without effeft : This is therefore to desire the said John
Alien, forthwith personally to apply to Mathew Yetman,
of Percy-street, London, apothecary, the only surviving
executor ; and in case of failure, application will be made
to the Court of Chancery, for leave to pay it to the chil
dren of the said John Alien, now in England.
WHEREAS his Excellency Sir William Howe
Commander in Chirf, hath thought fit to autho
rize me to employ workmen to make beef barrel ftaves
where they may be had, and to fend such ftaves to those
who supply his Majpfty's armies with provisions; and
having, according to his Excellency's will, entered into
certain agreements with several workmen in different
parts of the country, for this purpose, and as there is
great reason to believe some of the workmen, or those
employed by them, connive with others, under various
pretences, to purchase, fell or carry away such ftaves, so
that they are not delivered to me according to agreement:
I promise to pay TEN POUNDS, to any person who will
make fatisfaaory proof of any such fraudulent practices.
