N Apprentice Lad named SIMEON FCRTNER, a
_A house-carpenter by trade, 2o years of age, about s feet
1o inches high, and well set: Had on, and took with him, a
dark coloured mixed broadcloth coat, brown cloth waistcoat
and breeches, one ditto of nankeen, striped ticken trowfers,
thread stockings, half-worn shoes, and a new beaver hat. It
is supposed he is gone towards New-York, in company with a
certain John Murray, a short well-set fellow, by trade a tal
low-chandler. Whoever apprehends the said apprentice, or
[cmges him, so that his master may have him again, shall have

T isas much the duty of every good Member of Society,
I to expose villainy and ingratitude, as (o support or ¢n
courage honesty when diftrefled.——l landed here the loth of
July, 1773, from Cork, in the {fnow Pena, owned by Carfan,
‘Barclay, and Mitchell, and there came in the vefiel one Wil
liam Moore, an Englishman, about 25 years old, ahd s feet
10 or 11 inches high, of a good countenance, and bred a
paper-maker. This man seemed good natured, and unde
signing, and very obliging to the passengers.—When we ap
proached land, he appeared very unhappy at the thoughts of
‘being disposed of as a servant, tor his paflage money ; and
finding him crying one evenling under the long boat, I en
qﬁircd into the occasion of his distress, which he told me,
was the profpe@ of some years of slavery, in a strange coun
try, without friends to help him.—=ll assured him, he should
not be fold, and accordingly paid the'owners Ten Pounds
for his pallage, and the day I landed, gave him a good coat.
I shortly atter gave him a pals, setting forth, that I had paid
his paflage ; and as I believed him to have honesty enough to
discharge the obligation, he had my consent to go where he
pleased to earn the means.—He was employed some months
at the iron works of james and Drinker, which he lately left.
Now in hopes that no person who knows this story, will
countenance or conceal such unparalelled ingratitude, 1 do
hereby promise the reward of FIVE POUNDS, to any per
son who thall lodge the said WILLIAM MOORE, in the
jail of this city, in three months trom the date hereof. Given
under my hand at Philadelphia; the 16th day of July, 1774.

sia linen shirt, and a pair of trowfers of the latter kind, a
light coloured fuftian fly coat, a green coat and waistcoat,
white ¢loth breeches, good shoes and stockings, and silver
buckles ; it is likely he may look for employ in waiting up
on a gentleman, as he has been formerly in that way. ~ltis
imagined he is gone in company with a supposed Cornelius
Cummings, a cooper by trade, about s feet 6 or 7 inches
high, has a long brown coat, flanel wiiftcoat, firiped ticken

gether, so as the subscriber may get them again, fhali be en

house, at the Head of Elk, in Czcil county, Maryland, under
pretence of buying land : Benjamin Nugent purchased a tract
of land, William bought a negro woman, and Armitrong pur
chased a horse, for which each gave their separate obligations:
The {ubfcriber was accompanying them to their pretended
home, in order to receive his money. William Nugent made
off, with pretence to reccive cash from a man, he said was
indebted to him, and has not been seen since; he had with
him a woman’s saddle made of green pluih, the property of
the subscriber. Armstrong made off at York, and took with
him one rufled shirt, a pair of stockings, a stock, and a pair
of shoes, the property of the fubferiber. Benjamin Nugent
made off about twelve miles beyond York, at the sign ot the
Unicorn, and took with him a good silver watch, the property

height ot the other two; had on a reddish coloured allopene

their ruin: It is hoped, therefore, that in regard to common
justice, peoplé will endeavour to fechre them., 9
