A LEGACY:
WHEREAS John Alien, of Bury-ffreet, St. James's,

codicil dated the loth day of July, 1755, give to John
Allen, of Bloom's-grove, in Worceftei fly re, 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 meanshave been used to inform the said John.
Alien of the above legacy, by advertisements in the Lon
don Gazette of August the 29th, and Sept 2d, 1775,
&c. desiring him to apply to the executors of the said (
John Alien, Esq; in order for him to receive it, but
^without effea: 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 Allen, now in England.
YOUNG MAN, well qualified
to a& as a CLERK, and can be well recom
mended, wants a place. For particulars apply to Hugh
Caine.
WHEREAS his Excellency Sir William Howe
Commander in Chief, hath thought fit to autho
rize me to employ workmen to make beef barrel Slaves
where they quay be had, and to fend such ftaves to those
who supply his Majesty'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 Satisfactory proof of any such fraudulent practices.
